Discover 5 of the best bars in Chamonix
When you organize a transfer from Geneva to Chamonix, the main activity on your mind will be skiing. However, after a hard day on the slopes, the perfect way to unwind in the evening is to visit one of the resort’s many bars. Here’s a guide to five of the best bars here, where you can kick back or hit the dance floor at the end of the day.
1. The agile rabbit
This bar is known for its excellent selection of wines, as well as its delicious menu. With a focus on pasta and typical Italian cuisine, this is the ideal place to stop for a meal and a glass of wine to relax in the evening. Despite being quite small, especially from the outside, for those in the know this is one of the best bars in the resort and one of the first places you should visit after your bus trip from Geneva to Chamonix.
2. Slalom bar
This cozy bar has a very nice and cozy atmosphere, which makes it the perfect place to go immediately after finishing the day of skiing and want to enjoy some après ski. With large armchairs to recline on, you can enjoy live music, live sports, and happy hour, making it the ideal place to unwind.
3. The green bar
This is the ideal place for a more active night. It has been named the resort’s ‘Best Bar’ on several occasions and hosts numerous guest DJs throughout the year. The fun starts at 4 pm and goes on until late, and there’s also a big plasma screen for live sports.
4. Rhododendrons
This bar opened in 2009 and has been one of the most popular spots in the resort ever since, so be sure to visit it when you arrive after your transfer from Geneva to Chamonix. You’ll find it at the roundabout next to the Flegere cable car, and inside there’s a cozy atmosphere with a wood-burning fireplace. Pick up a newspaper, sit back and watch some live sports, or if the weather is nice, head out to the deck to listen to some live music and watch the sun go down.
5. Pele’s cellars
This is one of the best wine bars in the resort and is located right in the center of the action. It has a great atmosphere and lots of good wines to choose from, and there are a couple of restaurants upstairs as well.
These are just some of the bars you will find when you arrive at the resort and settle in after your transfer from Geneva to Chamonix. Whether you spend every night in the same one, or decide to try them all yourself, they’re a great way to end the day after so much time on the slopes!
