La Folie Douce Val d'Isère

La Folie Douce offers an extraordinary alpine experience where live music, elegant violin performances, and a vibrant crowd come together high in the mountains. The energy is contagious, the atmosphere unforgettable, and the setting truly iconic, surrounded by breathtaking alpine scenery. A perfect blend of music, celebration, and mountain spirit that defines the essence of après-ski at its finest.

I bet it’s the best après-ski vibe in Tignes 🤩 Good entertainment, DJ, Singers and Dancers 👯‍♀️. Loved it there, forgot how cold it was and danced 🕺, had fun times with friends. Applause to the singers and dancers as it’s not easy to entertain people this cold outside.

We had a great lunch in La Cucucina with beautiful live performances and nice view. After lunch outside as usual the best party and good vibes! We will come back for sure.

The new self service place is a poor show as near impossible to get a table, once you have your food. You wander round looking while it gets cold. Seems crazy to pay so much and not get a seat, I had to eat my sandwich standing up, and you can't even get a beer from same end as the food. So then you have to go to bar at other end of building to get a beer, at which point you would have to leave your food. Clearly not thought out, shame. Can't imagine how busy it would be if weather was nice and was later in the season. Marked food a four as was very tasty, plus the staff very good. It's just lack of seats. Review is for the Self service restaurant Only. Also note this is when the weather was not too good. So nobody was outside.

Fantastic service and fabulous atmosphere. We are à la cucúcina - a restaurant with amazing views and service. One of our family favourites every year on New Year’s Day. This year we had the pleasure of meeting Jo Jo who really looked after us. She was fabulous and took our boys round backstage to meet the performers and up to the VIP! Such a fun place

We had THE most amazing two days celebrating at The Folie in Val- incredible music, dancing, VIP service and especially from Jojo and the food and tour through the kitchens was just out of this world. Such a unique experience and even had our two little boys with us and they loved it so much too, especially the dancing on tables. Thank you fabulous Folie crew! Can’t wait for next season.

Amazing staff, high quality food, amazing slope side views, entertainment. Loved it all! A great lunch time spot to enjoy for a break off the slopes.

We had an incredible time celebrating my husband's birthday there, we were made so welcome especially by Jojo and Antoine in VIP we went back again the next day too and again the atmosphere was super friendly and fun! The kids were welcome too. The food was amazing, music and party out of this world! Thank you so much guys for the best birthday weekend 😘

La Folie Douce is the go-to place for Apres partying in the Alps. In my review of La Folie Douce at Val Thorens, I wrote that getting bottle service here would be refreshing for any American sick of sneaky upsells, snooty staff, and fees piled on top of fees. I found this to still be true at the Val D'Isere (Tignes) location, though this location is lackadaisical perhaps to a fault. If you are trying to book a VIP table (for which no minimum is listed but would generally be understood to be about 500 euro), you want to use the online form for "La Veranda." The main differences in setup here compared to VT are that the elevated VIP section here is split into an outside portion (4 tables) and an inside-ish portion (6 tables?). The outside portion doesn't have a direct line of sight to the DJ booth. Also, you can't order food here. We ordered burgers from the grill (which were delicious) and ate them before coming up. I would have loved the oysters (etc) that I enjoyed at VT instead. The one *positive* difference is that there is more space here and there is a stage for live performances, which is really cool to witness even if you're just skiing past. The bottle menu is not particularly expensive and there are no hidden fees. Service was great and the party went until 5pm. One thing I found weird here was that in the inner VIP area, there was a family of 20+ with children (not just under 18 but also much younger). It was surprising that the kids were allowed in to begin with, but they were also allowed to commingle with the dance floor and with the outer VIP area. Other weird thing was that we wanted to purchase one more bottle before last call. My friend got tricked into buying a magnum with the classic "we're all out of 750s." Though the staff was friendly in their parting, they didn't really provide any instructions as to getting down the mountain or anything and we found the bouncers to be rather cold when it came to the end of the day (big difference from Cloud 9 and others).

Super FUN place on the mountain in Val d'Isere. Great party vibe and the food we had was sooooooo good. Only downside was the wait and our server had a very obvious cold.....she was sniffling, red nose, the whole bit. We did our best to ignore it and overall had a great meal. But management.....how about you don't let sock people serve food! Especially considering the $400 lunch bill. Merci!

Well you think that you are cool because you are at La folie douce that everyone is talking about. You bet you are. As a matter of fact you are so cool that you may take your shirt off with temperature of zero and your friend will dance the leaf. If you are sub-zero cool then you will get on that table order some bubbles and spray it on everyone. Keep in mind that no one cares, everyone is wearing ski outfit. Don't try to be offended because they are wet from whatever liquid, its the purpose of ski clothes plus, we all know that no matter what those clothes will not get wash until next year, a week prior to departure. Anyway, good fun there, unreal people watching, just seems a little fake from time to times. But honestly you have to be seriously bitter at life for not stoping at least for a drink there. Coming from tignes it is situated right after "les marmottes" on the way to val d'isere.

Self service food not very good The party kicking in every afternoon with DJ's dancers and musicians in La Folie douce is really cool and so is as well the design of the place, however the staff is less than friendly, the food and the drinks is mega expensive. The quality of the dishes is mediocre. I can not recommend going here for food. The party is great though.

This review is purely for drinks and apres ski. Dunno about the food. This is THE PLACE to be for apres. If you haven't done the Alps, this is the reason why apres ski is so amazing in the Alps! There's a dj spinning and people are coming down the slopes and ready to pop some bottles! And start dancing on tables! The atmosphere is fun lively and always a good time!

I spent Christmas Day 2007 at La Folie Douce and what a place to spend it. I worked there during the season so only managed to make it up to this bar on my day off for Apres ski but you are welcomed with pumping tunes or bands from the roof of the bar and the huge outdoor seating area is perfect for Apres dancing in the sun. Expensive as you would expect from a mountain bar but a good place to have a dance after a long day on the slope. Will be back there again in two weeks. and can't wait!

This bar is amazing. You can hear the music from a few hundred metres away on the slopes, real bass heavy euro techno. Once we got there everyone was dancing on the tables, there's a seriously cool looking MC with a big white beard rapping on the roof, a woman singer standing on the bar, and a live trumpeter who looks like a French eminem playing trumpet versions of Daft Punk over the top of the music. There was also a guy in a shark costume but I later realised he was just there on holiday as I met him in a different bar later on that evening.
