Tignes won’t come top of any après charts but it is possible to have a ball from mid-afternoon to the early hours. The fragmented nature of the resort does, however, affect participation – most of the action is in the main hubs of Val Claret and Le Lac, while the lower villages are quieter in the evenings.

Dropzone
In Val Claret, Dropzone has the resort’s biggest south-facing terrace and some of the cheapest beer in town, with a happy hour from 3pm to 6pm that 300 people squeeze in for. The bar area serves snacks and has DJs, live bands, table football, pool, a big video screen and free Wi-Fi. At 10pm the place transforms into a nightclub.

Couloir bar
Another good venue in Val Claret, at the end nearest the train and chairlift for the Grande Motte, Couloir bar is the place to go for live music. It hosts a mix of bands and DJs, and a soul and funk night once a week. The bar has a large selection of whiskies and cocktails and serves tapas, plus there’s a restaurant upstairs.

Grizzly’s
A log cabin with a lovely warm and woody interior complete with fireplace and fur rugs – there’s also an outdoor fire pit –Grizzly’s is one of the most attractive venues in Tignes Val Claret for a vin chaud or hot chocolate. But it is expensive, especially the cocktail menu.
