About bars and nightlife in Courchevel
There is no shortage of places to go for a few drinks and some live music after a day on the mountain
Courchevel wouldn't be the resort it is without a good dose of après-ski to end the day!
Whether you prefer to soak up the late afternoon sun with a quiet glass of French wine or dance on the tables in your ski boots, beer jug in hand, Courchevel has plenty of great spots when the lifts shut for the day.
Made up of several small villages, the glitziest and most expensive is Courchevel 1850, and it will come as no surprise that the nightlife here comes at a price. Not only are drinks prices scarily high in many establishments, but only a handful of bars are actually worthy of a mention. It is actually Courchevel Moriond at 1650 that has become the unofficial after dark hub of Courchevel. You'll find a wide array of bars to suit every taste with après bands, rustic French bars and DJs filling the dance floor 'til the early hours. Le Praz and La Tania also have their own selection of nightlife that should easily see you through your holiday.

Courchevel
One of the few places to offer a lively après in 1850, La Cantine is in the former space of the legendary Ku-de-ta, and is just as worthy of a mention.
