Folie Douce to Open in Alpe d'Huez

Legendary Apres Ski Venue to Open Next Season

featured in News & reviews Author Sophie Nicholson, Alpe d'Huez Editor Updated

In December 2013, Alpe d'Huez will join the likes of Val d'Isere, Meribel, and Val Thorens as it becomes the latest ski resort to host the legendary apres ski venue - La Folie Douce.

La Folie Douce concept was created over 30 years ago by Luc Reversade and has become synonymous with apres ski across the French Alps. Each venue has a restaurant - La Fruitiere - which serves up fantastic cuisine but La Folie Douce is best known for putting on a massive party on the mountain.

The fourth Folie Douce will open at the top of the Marmottes lift in Alpe d'Huez in time for the 2013/2014 ski season. Thankfully the run back to resort is only an easy blue and should be manageable for most apres hounds!

We're only a couple of months into what is a fantastic winter season in Alpe d'Huez and we're already looking forward to next year....
