La Folie Douce Val Thorens
La Folie Douce
An open-air restaurant and mountain party beside the slopes, with DJs and dance performances every afternoon, a showcase of Alpine après-ski parties.
La Folie Douce is located in the middle of the Val Thorens ski area and is the most famous après-ski party brand in the French Alps. During the day it operates as a buffet restaurant and as the upscale restaurant La Fruitière. From about 14:30, DJs, singers and dancers perform on the terrace, and skiers dance on the tables in their ski boots, creating a lively atmosphere. Entry is free, but drinks are pricey. Remember you still have to ski back down after the party, so don't overdo the drinks.
Opening hours
Snow season approx. 09:00–17:00 (parties from about 14:30)
