Après Ski in Verbier

Verbier is renowned for its huge ski area, however don’t be fooled in to thinking this is all Verbier is about! Verbier is a lively party town with plenty of nightlife so if you’re still full of energy after a day on the slopes why not head to some of the places below to unwind?

The fun starts at the 1936 bar on the mountain; this is a great place to relax in the sun after a hard day of skiing or snowboarding without having to ski too far down afterwards. The Farinet (Altitude Partner) is located in the centre of town and is the venue for live bands and extreme après ski. This is a lively bar for those happy to dance the evening away in ski/board boots, but be warned you may be required to dance on the bar, down shots or even perform a stage dive!

Another fun packed après bar is the Pub Mont Fort. This is located right next to the Medran lift station so ideal for those not wanting to walk far from the bottom of the slopes! With an outside terrace it is an ideal sun trap and later in the evening often hosts themed nights such as the traffic light party and end of season beach party. This is a favourite with the English tourists and locals and gets extremely busy!

For a more relaxed early evening drink, head to the Lounge Bar. This is still part of the Farinet but set in an Asian themed room with large leather sofas and waitress service. Famous for its Pornstar Martinis, the Lounge Bar is an ideal celeb spotting bar and in the evening also offers nights such as Cream or Hedkandi.

If you manage to reach the early hours of the morning head to the glamorous Coup d’etat for an evening of cocktails, dancing and good music. For more music, head to Coco Club which has been recently refurbished. You can even try the Coco Champagne Cocktail. Served in a kitsch hand carved ice chalet for six people, this cocktail has to be ordered a week in advance, contains secret ingredients and comes at a ridiculously high price of CHF 10,000!!

The Farm Club, one of the oldest clubs in Verbier is very famous for its previous visits from the Royal Family and is also is a favourite with the older generation. With very wealthy clients, stratospherically high prices it is one of those places that is worth a try but slightly out of date in a town like Verbier.
