Après Ski in Les Deux Alpes
The ski resort of Les Deux Alpes offers an abundance of après-ski life in its bustling and lively town centre. There are plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and nightclubs plus a cinema, bowling alley and sports facilities spread across the long road through the town, however there is a huge choice of bars. Popular British favourites are 'The Secret' (below the Hotel Cret) with good prices and a lively atmosphere, 'Smithy's', which has regular events and live music, and 'Smokey Joe’s,' serving tasty Tex-Mex food. While 'SantaFee' and the 'Brazilian' are popular with French tourists, most of the 32 bars around town have a mix of patrons, truly offering something for everyone. 'Bar Rhumerie' in the centre of town is a good place for a quiet drink early on with its eclectic range of Rums from all over the world. There are a few themed bars dotted around the town certainly worth taking a look, but if you are interested in staying more ‘on the beaten track’ there plenty of generic bars as well. For late night dancing, 'L'Avalanche' and 'La Brazilien' play typical euro-club cheese while 'La Casa' is fashionable with French and Italian crowds. 'L'Opera' in Le Village is a really great club, with 3 floors, countless guest DJs of different styles (some UK artists have made appearances here) and a live music room.
The town centre has a heated outdoor pool and ice-rink with free entrance using a six—day (or longer) ski pass. Other activities available in Les Deux Alpes are snowshoeing, ice climbing, hang-gliding, helicopter trips and skidooing.
