Nightlife, party in the mountains!

In the mountains, one is never bored.  After a great day on the slopes, the excitement continues.  Nightclubs, bars, concerts, and festivals of all kinds - one can party and dance until the sun comes up.  Because the mountains are the perfect place for a party!

Certain resorts are internationally renowned for their jet-set style nightlife, particularly Courchevel, Megève and Val d'Isère, but also Tignes, Val Thorens, and La Plagne.  In these party capitals, crowds pour onto the dance floors, and renowned DJs such as David Guetta make frequent appearances at the nightclubs and festivals.  In all the resorts, nightclubs and bars fill every night, drawing in crowds with their festive, relaxed atmosphere and diverse rhythms ; from tropical to rock to electronic to lounge.   

But in the mountains, one is not limited to these “classic“ party spots.  Music festivals, shows, concerts...you will be spoiled for choice!  Jazz Festivals at Villard-de-Lans, Besse-Super-Besse and Flaine, which also hosts a 1980’s festival; Reggae at Chamonix, Festival des Concerts Sauvages at Morzine and Avoriaz, Saint Patrick’s Day Party at Montgenèvre, Festival des Pistes Electroniques at Isola 2000, Sheryfa Luna concerts at Orres and Christophe Maé at Châtel...the list of festivities in the stations is never ending!  And the parties aren’t just for nightbirds–even during the day, the slopes pulse with rhythm. La Folie Douce at Val d'Isère and Val Thorens and Pano Bar at Deux-Alpes turn up the sound in open-air dancefloors at 1:30 p.m!

Concerts, DJs, fun and fresh air–an explosive cocktail which makes these trendy destinations the meeting places for skiers seeking good vibrations.  To put it simply, the winter is festive in the mountains. So don’t hesitate to consult our agenda for a complete listing of the dates, themes, and events. The resorts are ready, and the atmosphere is incredible!
