Val Thorens - Apres Ski Prices

Hi
Can anyone give me some insight on apres ski\beer prices please? I'm hoping there wil be plenty of bars doing happy hour etc.

we will be catered so not worried about food

thanks

Beer was 5 euros a pint back in 2001 and a mate of mine was there last season and said he was paying around 7 euros a pint. My mates wife had a brandy and they charged 25 euros. Needless to say I told them where to put their brandy.
France. Hmmmph

25 euros? You are F***ing kidding right?

:cry:

Hey at least it was a brandy. In Courcheval, someone tried to charge me 25 euros for a damn Orangina :shock:

It was quite amusing to see, but at the weekend the place was busy with new skiers, by the Monday the place was deserted, and stayed that way the rest of the week. You would have thought they would have learnt their lesson.

thanks.
hopefully if we hunt around enough we'll find some bars doing 5 euro pints.......

La folie douce is the spot to head to for après, it is on the piste, plays live music on the terrace and is around €7 a pint, although there are happy hour après deals so check them out. €25 for a run and coke ? Not sure which bar that was but generally a short and mixer is around €10. I am sure the frog and roast beef don't charge €25 a drink. Average drinks prices across the main alpine resorts I.e val d' is ere, tignes, meribel, courchevel , la plagne, les arcs are typically €7 for a pint of beer €3 for a glass of house wine and €10 for a short with mixer. Nightclubs are different especially if you head to a French "discotheque" they do charge slightly more I.e le loft in meribel charge €15 for a short with mixer and €10 for a pint. Valtornet.com is a great place to source more info. Hope it helps

thanks Merichick

was in La Plagne last year and found the beer prices ok. we dont intend to go mad every night but its nice to have a few beers after a hard day crashing...
