Chamonix Apres Ski Report: 15th April 2011

featured in Nightlife reviews Author Katy Sunderland, Updated


So Le Vert is really getting into BBQ season and put on another great event last Saturday with DJ Vadim. The pre-party BBQ was very tasty and is setting the standard of things to come. You might have expected a slightly quieter event following the epic Freestylers but it was just as busy!

The closing parties are starting to mount up, this week we had the closing of upstairs at the La Terrasse combined with Sambuca Sunday and tomorrow sees the closing party for South Bar with the special offer of €25 ‘drink the bar dry'. The Savoy Bar in Argentiere have also announced their last après session of the season, next week on the 21st April. Get your leg warmers and lycra out as there is an 80's fancy dress theme and the Pistey Boys will be playing live, expect a late one!

For all the ladies out there it is Women's week in Chamonix and to help get the après sessions started make the most of the offers available. Ladies, who have bought an on-line purchase of a MONT BLANC Unlimited lift-pass for 3 days or more at the promotional price from 4th to 15th April 2011, are able to exclusively enjoy activities that have been specially selected for them at a highly preferential price, such as fitness sessions, spa sessions and even painting lessons.
