Après-ski

The transition from skiing to „après-ski“ is seamless as both the apartments and the different après-ski bars are at the foot of the slopes. Many guests enjoy the end of their skiing day in the "Yorin-Bar" which is the SnowTrex bar in the Village. Already at noon the first ones "practise their turns". Before the last ones leave, it is mostly late evening. If you still havenamp;acute;t got enough, you may dance on in one of the several discotheques of Les 2 Alpes. The SnowTrex representative will organise a diversified programme, e.g. a tour through the pubs and discos and a traditional raclette evening - a real MUST! You can enjoy ice skating at the ice rink or the swimming at the swimming pool of Les 2 Alpes as the entrance is included in the lift pass.
