5 Of The Best Bars In Les Arcs 1950

The Les Arcs 1950 nightlife is something to behold and perfect for those who put enjoying an après ski beer or dancing the night away into the early hours high on the priority list of their ski holiday.

You should also ask your Chalet Host for advice on which venues are the best. They will, after all, probably have frequented most of them! But to give you an idea of what’s on the other side before you grab your flight, here are 5 of the best bars in and around Arc 1950.

This modern, yet cosy, lounge-bar offers a relaxing environment in the day and a lively party scene by night. With a high standard of food, drinks and music, it’s also been dubbed as the nightclub ‘made in Arc 1950’, so it's a brilliant place to dance the night away.

The O'Chaud bar regularly hosts events throughout the winter, with music ranging from R'n'B to house.

• Opening times: 15:00 - 03:00 (Winter only)
