Meribel wouldn't be the resort that it is without a good dose of après-ski to end the day!

Whether you prefer to soak up the late afternoon sun with a quiet glass of French wine or dance on the tables in your ski boots, beer jug in hand, Meribel has plenty of great spots when the lifts shut for the day.

Après-ski in Meribel

Après-ski in Méribel is every bit as lively as the skiing itself, with a wide variety of venues to suit different tastes. As the lifts begin to close, the atmosphere shifts to terraces, bars and lounges where skiers and snowboarders gather to share stories from the day. High on the slopes you will find large outdoor terraces that turn into open-air parties, complete with live bands, DJs and dancing in the sunshine. These are some of the most iconic après spots in the Alps, drawing crowds each afternoon for music, drinks and mountain views.

Back in the villages the choice is just as good. In Méribel centre you can enjoy buzzing pubs, stylish wine and cocktail bars or more relaxed lounges where you can sit by the fire with a glass of wine. A short bus ride brings you to Méribel Village, where happy hours, live bands and friendly atmospheres keep the party going long after the slopes have emptied.

Whether you're after a high energy outdoor concert, a glass of champagne in chic surroundings or a relaxed drink with friends, Méribel delivers an après-ski scene that is both varied and memorable, ensuring your day continues long after you step off the mountain.
