11 Best Après-Ski Scenes in Europe for Slopeside Soirees | Condé Nast Traveler
"In plum position just above Méribel, this legendary bed‑in après session flows from the bar—order the toffee vodka—and wraps sensibly at 6 p.m. so everyone can edge down for chalet suppers." - Rosalyn Wikeley
Blimey. Do you like to sink a beer or two? Perhaps dancing to a band's weak rendition of an EDM track is up your street. Look no further. This is a place where the pretentious mix with the genuine. You'll see famous influencers and you'll see normal blokes and ladies. You won't see anyone actually famous though, just to set expectations. Well, you might. But I have been here a lot and necked over 350 pints probably and I have never seen one. I did see one woman who I thought was a BBC news presenter. But turns out she wasn't. Easy mistake to make though. Innocent mistake isn't it? I shouldn't be dragged across the coals for it. But tbh that wasn't the view of my mates who really laid into me. Things got quite emotional in the end but I think I maintained enough composure to see the night through with my dignity intact. Needless to say, this is a top apres bar. I wish you the best of fortune. Thanks, J

The Rond Point or “The Ronnie” as it’s often referred to by the locals is famous for its amazing Apres ski parties and the huge sunny terrace it hosts them on but the A La Carte restaurant service deserves a special mention. I took my wife there for a lunch and we had a great time. The service was prompt and pleasant, we never felt fussed over but every time we needed anything it was attentively dealt with. The Chefs clearly know what they’re doing there and the food was amazing. Beautifully presented and very tasty. The talented host suggested a great wine to pair with our meal choice and the Cafe Gourmand desert was the literal cherry topping to a fabulous meal. Highly recommended if you’re in the area, just make sure you book to not be disappointed!
Given its location, the quality of food and the service this is one of the best lunch spots in the heart of the 3 valleys!

Amazing piste side music bar, restaurant and general après ski venue. Huge outdoor terrace to enjoy the sun while watching the skiers roll by, great music sessions daily from mid afternoon, warm restaurant area indoors but fills up quick so don’t be late!

Great place for a beer at the end of a day on the slopes! Always live music on, even in the off season when we visited. Friendly, but also well organised and professional staff. Lively party atmosphere. Massive terrace great in all weathers! Would definitely go back if we're in Meribel again.

Great atmosphere, great DJs on Wednesday, beer was cold, view was amazing, crowd was all - in dancing to banging tunes!

Live music, decent enough beer and not too expensive. A great way to finish the day of a great day's skiing. A trip to toilet down the slide adds a very unique touch!

That's the most fun apres ski in 3 valleys! Even worth paying a taxi back to courchevel to be able to enjoy the band's who are brilliant

Great live music, fantastic atmosphere. Ski in, ski out, or walk/bus. Really simple to find, and a perfect meeting point.
Apres Ski at its best!
Queues for the bar/food can get a little insane during busy periods, but if you're wanting the full experience, definitely not to be missed.

Amazing terrace bar. Gorgeous chef's and masters of their craft. Beef burger was a culinary masterpiece!

Our favourite place to eat lunch on the mountain. Reasonable prices and very nice food as well as pints in glasses. Gets busy so get in early and then get back on the mountain before the French and enjoy the empty pistes!
