How about Mottaret for a disapointing evening? |
I have had some great evenings in Mottaret, I found the company in the Tabac brilliant, beers cheap, and you could get pizzas from next door for almost no money. There were no English people at all , the bar man always insisted on getting a round in for his token friendly "English" and all in all could not ask for more.
The live lesbian snogging show was just a bonus.
The night club was a bit quiet, but not big bucks and again pretty friendly.
If you really needed an evening with loads of people called Justin and Tarquin waffling on about equity swaps loudly Meribel was only a bus ride away.

oofaafuu, I am going to disagree in part to this one... The village is very spread out but I can recall (or not as the case might be) having a couple of great bar crawls and grooving in the 'very' germanic apres bars...
Can't remember the name of the bar but the one with the wooden helter skelter slide into it is decent night... |
I'm going to have to disagree too - had a few quality nights out there. Is there another bar with a helter skelter? 4 years ago, the one I visited had a copper slide that propelled you at speed straight towards the bar, taking oout anything in your path.

Had some great nights in there dancing on the benches

Fattes13, Was going to say Kilternan - but it has no apres let alone the worst !  |
It used to!!...I can remember back in the day, going up there for a blem of Thursday, into the Hotel bar afterwards for "1 or 2" and then falling out of Club Apres at 4 am....then going to work at 07:30 am....ah those youthful days.
As for quiet resorts, I never really had a quiet French or Italian one....the one I found the most quiet was Zell Am See....even Crazy Daisys was very sedate.

Trouble is I only get this kind of Apres on solo trips as my ski-gang insist on table-dancing to euro-trash while consuming innumerable liquid nitrogen cocktails from 3.30pm until the next morning.

The Crazy Daisy was absolutely rocking back in 1996
We went back in 2000 and it was dead/empty.
The same can be said of Sauze d'Oulx nowadays - 1997/8 the Andy Capp was rocking till the wee small hours with drunken people still in their ski boots/suits.
The mafia moved in prior to the Turin winter Olympics and sanitised the place - shame really, it was so shoddy as to be great

Meribel Mottaret used to be quiet and Flaine used to be a two hotel base. Haven't been for years so may have changed. Generally France the quietest and Austria the busiest -but never been to Andorra or Bulgaria so don't know what they are like.

Cairngorm Mountain. The one and only bar at the bottom was shut by 5 pm on the best Saturday of the season this year. We were gagging for a pint or two and had to drive back to the Youth Hostel 4 miles down the road for a beer - the next refreshments being somewhat further away in Aviemore...

SamCope, in fact, can I withdraw my comments. Your website has a lot of errors and omissions in it. No nikkis stadl for ischgl and quite a few good bars missing from st Anton and a couple that are now closed. You've also got one of the places located in Alpbach for some reason. Hope you find my comments constructive rather than dismissive as I think you've got the basis of a good site. Let me know if you want me to be your après correspondent for st Anton

Had a look at Val d'Isere out of interest. The review of La Folie Douce is wrong because it's describing the one in Val Thorens, and you've nicked a photo I took of the interior of the Moris pub! I assume you pinched it from my review of the Moris on Trip Advisor.
Oh, and Bananas burnt down, so that needs to be removed.

I also found that. I think everyone who likes a bit of après has migrated to Saalbach Hinterglemm not far away. Schmittenhoehe is lovely for skiing - better than Skicircus in many ways but is now way way below Saalbach Hinterglemm for après. Shame

Isn't it still open, with some sort of a makeshift roof made of black bin liners?

Absolutely - Val D-Isere for example, is terrible - all shouting English drunks and vomit. Or Whistler, which is pretty much the same thing these days. Check out the taxi loop at midnight for all the fun of fresh English vomit.
I can get that any night of the week at home, thanks.

Tumbleweed can often be spied rolling along the town square in my town (Radstadt)... Lots of places to go which are what you make of them but banging 'apres' it is not...
But.. what is 'apres' for the Austrians it is quite literally the point that the lifts shut until you go home for dinner. In the larger areas where the lifts end in the town then you can expect to boogie in your boots until the Sun comes up...

St Anton. I missed my dinner and had a terrible headache after dropping in the Mooserwort for a swift half.

ladtalk, Flaine is pretty quiet, in fact really quiet but agreed has excellent skiing. Couple of pubs, couple of restaurants.
For post apocalypse quiet, mine is Katschberg in Austria. Only one shop apart from ski wear. 2 pubs. On piste, saw 3 men having it large on their own, all week.
