Après-Ski in Méribel: Live Music 7 Days a Week

Ski down, skis off, music on.

Welcome to après-ski at La Terrasse du Village, with live music seven days a week throughout the winter season, right in the heart of Méribel Village.

Located at the bottom of the Lapin piste and just moments from the Golf chairlift, La Terrasse is an easy place to finish your ski day. Ski back into the Village, leave the mountain behind and settle in on our covered and heated terrace for drinks, food and live music from 4pm.

No bus required, no need to head home and change, and ski boots are very much welcome.

Live music every day in Méribel Village

Live music has always been a big part of winter at La Terrasse, and this season there is something happening every single day.

From acoustic sessions and familiar singalong favourites to full bands that get the terrace on its feet, our programme brings together musicians performing across Méribel and the wider 3 Vallées throughout the winter.

The line-up changes from week to week, which means the atmosphere does too. Some afternoons start with a relaxed drink in the sun; others become considerably less relaxed once the band gets going.

Live music starts from 4pm, so check our What’s On calendar to see who is playing during your stay.

Après starts before the band does

There is no reason to wait until 4pm to get started.

From 3pm to 4pm, it’s Aperol Spritz Hour at La Terrasse, ideal for that moment when you decide your legs have probably done enough skiing for one day.

Then from 4pm to 5pm, Happy Hour kicks in just as the live music gets underway.

Skis begin appearing outside, the first drinks arrive, the band starts playing and before long Méribel Village après is in full swing!

Hungry after skiing? Our snack menu runs from 3pm to 6pm

Après-ski and food should go together.

Anyone who has spent the day skiing knows that by mid-afternoon a bowl of peanuts isn’t really going to cut it, which is why we serve our snack menu from 3pm to 6pm throughout the winter.

Expect proper post-ski food, including smash burgers, loaded fries and other snacks designed for hungry skiers.

Whether you’re grabbing something before the band starts, sharing food with the table during après or trying to recover some energy before the evening continues, you don’t have to choose between drinks, music and something substantial to eat.

And if you want to stay longer, La Terrasse is a full restaurant too, so après can very easily turn into dinner (although we do recommend booking for dinner, we get rather busy in the winter).

Ski straight back to the après

One of the best things about après-ski at La Terrasse is simply where we are.

The blue Lapin piste brings skiers straight back into Méribel Village, with La Terrasse just a few steps from the bottom of the run. Your final ski of the day can therefore end almost directly at the terrace.

Do you need to ski to come to the après?

Not at all.

Unlike mountain après venues that require skis or a lift pass to reach, La Terrasse is accessible directly from Méribel Village parking lot which is FREE (unheard in a ski resort these days). Non-skiers can meet friends coming off the mountain, families can join later in the afternoon, and groups who have spent the day doing completely different things can all meet in the same place.

And if you’re staying in Méribel Centre, you don’t need a car either. During the winter season, the free Méribus shuttle connects Méribel Centre and Méribel Village, making it easy to come down for après and head back up again afterwards.

That makes La Terrasse particularly easy for mixed groups. Some people ski all day, some take the afternoon off, some don’t ski at all and everyone can still meet for drinks, food and live music afterwards.

Après-ski on a covered and heated terrace

This is the Alps, so the weather can range from glorious sunshine to snow coming sideways within the space of an afternoon.

Our large covered and heated terrace means the après doesn’t depend on perfect conditions.

On bluebird days, it is a great place to catch the last of the afternoon sun. When the weather turns, the heaters come on, the drinks keep flowing and the band carries on playing.

There is something particularly satisfying about sitting outside with a drink, surrounded by snowy mountains, still wearing your ski boots and knowing you don’t have anywhere else you need to be.
