1. FreeRide bar

Location
Alpe d’Huez

Nestled at the foot of the slopes, FreeRide Bar is an authentic après-ski gem born from the friendship and passion of three inseparable ski instructors. This bar isn’t just a place to grab a drink - it’s a celebration of mountain life, good humour, and genuine camaraderie. Warm, creative, and full of personality, it perfectly captures the spirit of Alpe d’Huez.

Step inside and you’ll find an atmosphere that’s as inviting as it is lively. Whether you’re arriving solo, with friends, or as a family, you’ll be greeted with smiles, laughter, and an irresistible energy. Savour tasty tapas, sip one of their inventive house cocktails, or dive into a themed night filled with music, dancing, and unforgettable fun.

From live music and barbecue evenings to games of pool or table football, every visit brings a new adventure. And true to its playful spirit, FreeRide Bar loves to surprise - think quirky touches like shooters served in syringes and even a slide to reach the toilets!

Bursting with creativity, kindness, and mountain charm, FreeRide Bar is more than just an après-ski stop - it’s a place where everyone belongs, where the party never feels forced, and where every night is one to remember.
