FAQs about après ski holidays
Your questions answered by our après ski holiday expert
Abbie Warren
What does après-ski mean?
Après-ski is a French word that translates as “after ski”, and refers to the food, drinks, and nightlife skiers and snowboarders enjoy after a day spent on the slopes.
Why is après-ski so popular?
Blending great music, cheap drinks, and all-night parties on and off the slopes, après-ski has become synonymous with ski holidays, especially for groups. Many skiers and snowboarders see finding good apres spots as crucial as securing great slopes!
Which country has the best après-ski?
Austria is the king of après-ski parties thanks to its lively bars, welcoming nature, and love of cheesy pop. That being said, France, Switzerland, Andorra, and Bulgaria are also lively hotspots for those wanting to pair their skiing with some serious bar-hopping. To learn more about the best places for apres-ski, check out our blog here.
What resorts do the best après-ski?
St. Anton in Austria, Val d’Isère in France, and Verbier in Switzerland are renowned hotspots for après-ski parties, combining vibrant nightlife alongside stunning mountain vistas. To learn more about the best après-ski resorts, check out our blog here.
Where to head for the cheapest après-ski?
Eastern European resorts, such as Bansko and Borovets in Bulgaria, Jasná in Slovakia, and Zakopane in Poland, are all great options for group ski holidays, offering affordable slopes and even more affordable après-ski.
Can you go to après-ski without skiing?
Yes, absolutely! Après-ski is a skiing activity as much as it is a non-skiing one. Non-skiers can choose to spend their days off the slopes exploring the town, taking part in winter hikes, and soaking in the spas, then join their friends after their time on the slopes for food, drinks, and plenty of partying in the après bars. Cheers to that!
What’s the dress code for après-ski?
Straight off the slopes in your ski pants and jacket paired with cosy sweaters, boots, beanies, and gloves. Après is comfort first, style second - but do check with bars before you leave your accommodation, as some high-end clubs may lean towards a more “smart-casual” mountain chic.
