Iconic bars for the après-ski experience

Iconic bars for the après-ski experience

Romantic and stylish Courcheval abounds in quirky little wine bars: our guide points you in the right direction for the best on your hotel's doorstep.

The Cave des Lys: a wine cellar with altitude
Located in the basement of a traditional house, this wine cellar boasts spectacular exposed stone vaults that lend it a thoroughly unique feel. Paper lanterns radiate dim, almost candle-like light, while the bottles presented on rustic wooden boards entice and surprise. Looking for a prestigious cru? Try a range of different Burgundies and Bordeaux. Hoping for something light and refined? Look no further than a Rhône Valley or Provence wine. Enjoy with a hearty cheese board and cured meat platter.
Le Bar Joe: that bistro feel
With its white-tiled walls and nail-studded wooden chairs scattered around brushed metal tables, this bar is resolutely retro in feel. The smell of home-made sausage and raw milk cheese rises up in the air, with sardine fillets and marinated tuna also on offer. Seize the opportunity to sample a southern or Italian wine, or if you're looking for something that little bit special, enjoy dipping into a heady array of leading grands domaines and châteaux estates.
Le Ratrack: fireplace moments
The après-ski experience is all about enjoying a pre-dinner drink around a flickering fireplace, and this little nook in the Courcheval Mercure hotel is the perfect place to do so. Listen to the crackling logs as you peruse the wine list, and enjoy wines by the glass or bottle. Your sommelier will be delighted to help you select your perfect cru, whether red, white or champagne.
