Define your idea of après? Dancing on tables? Live music? Quiet beers?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Sorry, good point, i usually ski in Austria where the après is normally the "on table" variety! skied La Plagne last year, stayed in 1800 and the Mine Bar was ok but not really lively enough, without wishing to put the moggy amongst pigeons! i'm looking for something a little more raucous

Well I'm afraid you may struggle to find what your after in La Plagne! Scotty's bar in Plagne centre probably gets the most lively, especially on chalet hosts day off, but only really for a couple of hours when the happy hour is in full flow - this is the only place I have seen dancing on the tables!
There is a night club in Belle Plagne which is allegedly open until 7am (the name escapes me) but I've not been in so can't comment on this!
Are you booked yet? If so, which village?

gazzaredcruiser, we like in quiet in Plagne 1800.
Les Mines is far too lively and only tolerated for the Happy Hour and Football.
chopkins13 is i think referring to Le Saloon, which is fortunately about as far from 1800 as you can get.

There was a Dutch bar in Plagne Centre other than that it was very sedate when I was there (it was 10yrs ago)/ La Mine in 1800 was very quiet - lively? Non!

@Jonpim, I only mentioned belle Plagne as the OP hasnt yet said where he's booked this season, if at all. If he is going back to Plagne 1800 then options very limited!

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

The Mouth (Dutch Bar) can get a bit lively. Scotty's is your best best. And it will be on a Wednesday or Thursday night.
If you want Austrian style apres you chosen the wrong resort
There is a little outdoor bar in the paintball below the Colerado lift thats making an effort but bever been in there

Mouth no longer exists, was also Plan ja, the Dutch bar Halfhand was talking about.
Scotty's have an apre band on every weekday, but Wednesday is the busiest. Luna bar on a Tuesday night is also popular now with seasonaires. Both of these are in Centre.
In Bellecote you have Spitting feathers, a nice English pub, but not lively, unless the pub crawl is in. There is also a club in Bellecote called Cosy bar.
In 1800 you have La Mine, which do live bands quite regularly... does get very very busy in there though.
In Belle Plagne you have le tet inn, which has some good nights, and Cheyenne which is again ok. Saloon in Belle plagne is also a club.
you have other places as well, like Kode Bar, igloo, the Rum bar etc etc. But to be honest La Plagne is not a massive apre resort, especially on the level of the Austrians. I would recommend the on piste restaurant Bergerie on a Wednesday afternoon though, as they have a Dj (same guy form a Tuesday night in Luna) and are trying to get that sort of atmosphere.

Fort Colerado is ok Whisky priest, but not really an apre destination

I went there a couple of years ago and don't think I left until about half four/five. I may have had a hip flask of sambuca with me so can't really say much about it, vaguely remember it being a bit grimy and there being a lot of young people about, but doubt I'd have stayed there for so long if it was too bad. I also remember that my hangover was so vicious that I attempted to ski at about 11am the next day, did the St Jacques piste and decided that I was so uncoordinated that it was far too dangerous for me to be on the slopes in the vicinity of anyone else. Went back to the room, lost a day of skiing and learnt a valuable lesson about how not to enjoy apres*
*The lesson about moderation (or anything other than total annihilation) has yet to sink in fully.

That's a cardinal sin and a fine! we always aim to "get on it" about 4.30 and then grab supper at 7.30 hopefully sobering up a little, then have a couple before getting off to bed for 10ish. I am 52 you know!! always up on the first lift, otherwise another fine!!
you know what they say "Go to heaven, Ski like Hell"

Bumped into Arne from Planja a couple of years ago. He was trying to get a folie douce going at the Bergerie.

@gazzaredcruiser Try stopping by the Bergerie Bar on your run back to base.
They used to have a bottle of some local hooch containing some form of pickled amphibian.
It tastes horrible but your posts suggest that you'd be up for the challenge

That's the thing, if I'm on it then there's no way that I'll be in bed by 10...in fact if I'm drinking from before 5 then it's more likely I'll be in an ambulance by that point!
