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 and a daily opening time of 15:00 - 03:00.

Plan your trip to O’Chaud’s:

• Opening Times: 3pm – 3am (Winter only)
• Prime Time: Thursday Night
• Speciality: Cocktails

Here’s a peek into what a night at O’Chaud’s looks like…

With a wide selection of draught beers, wines and live music, Les Belles Pintes is a great place to unwind after skiing with a taste of Ireland. ‘Dublin’ down on that traditional pub vibe, you’ll also be able to catch live sports on the big screen and enjoy a round of darts or pool.
