The Alpe d'Huez branch of the Alps-wide après-ski chain delivers exactly what the brand promises: live DJs, costumed dancers on the bar, sparkling wine by the magnum, all on a sun terrace at altitude with the mountains as a backdrop. Sessions run roughly from 2pm to 5pm and the crowd is mostly young and very loud.
If this is your idea of a good time you will love it; if not, give it a wide berth and ski down to the village.
