Morzine Après-Ski

There’s never a problem in finding somewhere suitable to kick back in your ski boots in Morzine.

There’s never a problem in finding somewhere suitable to kick back in your ski boots and tell tall tales of demonic black runs. On the whole après ski in Morzine is resort-based, and it is almost as important as the skiing itself. Le Dixie Bar on Rue du Bourg is popular with Brits with pool tables, games, live rugby and football on the big screens and usually has live music for early evening après-ski entertainment. Classier is Le Boudha Café, where you can also buy the Asian furniture if you like it. For an après ski knees-up you can try and get in at Crépuscule. It's small, busy, full of Dutch and Swedes and there's a risk that you might not get round to taking off your boots until bedtime.

Le Rhodos is for more chilled out après ski with relaxing music, free newspapers and comfy sofas - and betting at the PMU counter. Cheap, strong beer pulls in the crowds early on to the Bar Robinson; another popular venue with the English. Surf the web with your après-ski at the Action Sports Café which as well as internet terminals has a comfortable decking area and outside bar for those sunnier days, plus a Playstation for nippier nights. A more French alternative to the après-ski can be found in La Théière du Berger with its beautiful selection of warm teas and hand-made cakes.

If you're determined to make a big night out of it the ski resort has two nightclubs, L'Opera and Le Paradis du Laury's, and both are open until the early hours.
