Once you’ve had a long and fabulous day on the slopes- take a look around town and explore the restaurants, bars, clubs and take-out joints that make up the fabric of this village.
Most of the establishments in town are old family businesses, with a few new ones popping up here and there- still run by locals whose families have lived there for generations. Some of the food is seriously good and the locals are charming and friendly people.
Pop into Jour et Nuit for a delicious dinner, and meet the gracious owner of the establishment, Luca. My dreams are often filled with memories of their steak with balsamic reduction- it’s delicious with a side of potato gratin!
If you have more of sweet tooth, pop into the Perruquet and order their thick and delicious hot chocolate and sit at a table next to the window and watch the towns-folk and toursits go about their day, or the snow falling gently from the sky.
The Yeti is always a great spot for a drink in the afternoon and a bit of a party at night. The owners, Mau and his gorgeous wife, are a fun-loving and gregarious couple who throw special parties at the bar and release a very naughty yearly calendar! My husband and I have spent many a night at the Yeti and taken part in an age old tradition- the boot. Drink beer out of a boot shaped glass in record time and your name goes up on the board! It can get quite competitive!
For a riot of a party visit the Dragon. This cute pub offers live music in the evenings and turns into a pumping nightclub at night- a favourite of locals and tourists alike and a place where myself and my family have spent many a great night!
