Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 25th January 2013
It’s been one hell of a musical week! With the après music sessions taking place every day, it’s surprising our lives haven’t become a singing only musical!
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 8th December 2011
Welcome all to the first Val d’Isere après report of season 2011/2012, and I’m pleased to say I’m looking out the window onto a blanket of snow several feet deep and bluebird skies. This certainly wasn’t the case a few days ago when the mountain was still very green (red and yellow) and autumnal. But, thanks to Hewie, the beloved god of snow, wishes were granted and the white stuff fell from the sky in masses, and apparently more is on the way.
Start of the 2016-17 season in Val d'Isere
Val D’isere has come to life. In the space of a week, the town has transformed from a tranquil green and brown to a vibrant snowy paradise. In a mere 48 hours, around a metre of snow fall and an influx of thousands of season workers has drastically changed the autumnal landscape into the resort that is renowned as one of the biggest and best in the world.
Dick's Tea Bar
Dicks Tea Bar is more of an institution than a nightclub. It is sleek, suave and stylish and is packed every night of the week.
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 22nd March 2012
It’s been a busy week for me this week. I’ve had friends visiting and what with going on the hill, going out and working, I’m barely keeping my eyes open. Luckily, on my day off I got a lie in before heading up the hill and then in the evening we headed out for a meal.
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 23rd January 2013
As most of us in Tignes try and defrost after the bitterly cold week we have just gone through, more snow is on the way. A change up from the -15 degree days will be a welcome change as they were starting to get the better of my nose, ears and moustache.
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 7th March 2013
With the season ending in two months and our minds drifting towards our summer plans, we’ve been trying to figure out how to save our Euros and even make some extra cash for our next trips. We’ve considered selling grilled cheeses for drunk passer-bys, trading kisses for cash, and even giving our kidneys away. As you all can imagine, we’ve been getting creative. And desperate.

Val d’Isere is such a multi-national little bubble that sometimes you forget where in the world you are.
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 19th December 2012
We would like to say that we behave, we really would. But as our parents have always instructed us to tell the truth, we’ll just say that it’s definitely work in progress..... It will come as no surprise then that this week was just another epic series of jagerbombs, awesome DJs, and all out shenanigans. This is Val d’Isere; we just can’t help it!
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 19th April 2012
The end of season is nigh and people are starting to pack their bags and leave. It’s always sad when the people you’ve become close to leave, even after only a season or two and it’s harder still when you know they’re not just leaving the country but the continent too!
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 15th December 2014
December has come round very quickly this year, we will be seeing 2015 in very shortly, but before that we still have a few weeks of events in Val D!
5 Brilliant Hollywood Ski Scenes
Skiing and cinema have had a bit of a rocky relationship over the years. Need I mention 80s nightmare ski-flick ‘Hotdog’ or the more recent avalanche of cringe that was ‘Chalet Girl’?
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 16th February 2012
This week was Valentine’s Day and just happened to be my day off too. I made the most of it by going out for dinner with my partner. By the time we were both ready to go it was getting quite late, as in 10pm late! So we decided to head down to the Taverne d’Alsace, located beneath the Billabong Café and Hotel Kandahar, on the opposite side of the roundabout from the bus station.
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 18th January 2013
Maybe we needed a week for our New Year’s resolutions to kick in or maybe it was the fantastic -24 degree weather we’ve been having this week, but either way, we’ve been behaving. Or at the very least, we’ve been working on it, reminding ourselves that our little Euros could be spent on something other than apres-ski! Needless to say, we could be trying harder to stay in control…
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 6th April 2012
Everybody loves supporting a good cause and everybody loves it even more when it involvesenjoying the sunshine. Last Thursday we had just that opportunity as the annual Step Up for Africa event returned to Val d’Isere for the fourth time in a row.
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 6th December 2012
The first week of the season can only mean one thing for Après-Ski and nightlife around Val d’Isère - life is good when you’re here early! This week we saw the opening nights of some of our favorite places to eat, drink, and party and with everyone celebrating opening weekend and the confirmation of the Criterium, Val d’Isere was rocking....
Val d'Isere Apres Ski Report: 9th February 2012
In Val d’Isere, it can be hard to catch up with friends when you’re all working a lot and days or nights off don’t coincide. I hadn’t seen my friend for a few weeks and it turns out we both had the same night off so we decided to make a night of it; get dressed up and have a classy night.
