Discover après holidays for skiers (and non-skiers)
An après ski holiday goes beyond the slopes, making it perfect for skiers and non-skiers alike. The art of après ski remains a real cornerstone of the ski holiday - and for many, it's as important an element of the trip as the skiing itself.
While some spend their days on the slopes, others opt for spa treatments, scenic walks, shopping and local culture. Many ski resorts and venues offer après ski in some form, from lively discos to quieter dinner-and-drink spots loved by locals. Go on, mix it up a bit and ski better with Inghams.
What to know about après?
What does the word 'après' mean? Après ski is French for 'after ski'. It's a natural follow-on from what you do after you've finished skiing for the day and has become internationally known as an after-ski drink.
What time does après ski start? You can of course stop for a lunch time tipple or enjoy a glass with your dinner, but the general rule is once you have finished skiing or snowboarding for the day or once the lifts have shut for that day.
Is music part of après ski? Of course, this is really the highlight: be it a nightclub, background pub music or live music filling the air.
