La Folie Douce, the legendary apres venue, is coming to the Portes du Soleil’s highest ski resort Avoriaz this season.
This location up on the plateau will mean the perfect sunset setting and an easy snowboard or ski in after an epic day on the mountain.
Opening in December 2018, La Folie Douce Avoriaz includes La Petite Cuisine, a self-service restaurant open between 11.30am and 3pm in addition to La Fruitière, a more fancy-pants restaurant open for lunch and dinner. La Fruitière will also host the extravagant apres parties for which La Folie Douce is famous, between 2pm and 6.30pm each day. Expect live DJs, singers and performers. Here’s what we can expect…
La Folie Douce already has bars in Val d’Isere, Meribel-Courchevel, Val Thorens, St Gervais and Alpe d’Huez. The 2018/19 ski season will be an iconic time for the brand as they are also opening the first Folie Douce hotel, located in Chamonix, in December 2018.
