The best Afterski destinations
Val Thorens
UCPA's highest center is of course located in Europe's highest ski resort, Val Thorens. Located in the middle of the slopes, ski-in ski-out, it's perfectly placed to be first on the lift every morning. Here you will find the largest nightclub in the Alps (amnesia) as well as Folie Douce, with its saxophonist playing live every day (read a lot of champagne + boot dancing on the table)
Val d'Isère
You'll also find a Foulie Douce (the original!) and Cocorico, just a stone's throw from the UCPA Center. If you want a quieter après-ski, you'll find Saloon, Warm up, Dicks T and also La Barraque!
Chamonix
After a day on the snowy slopes of Chamonix, après-ski is a must. Visit the legendary La Folie Douce, known for its high-octane atmosphere and live music, a perfect place to dance away the fatigue of skiing. Also, don't miss Chambre Neuf, a favorite place among Scandinavians!
