After their on mountain restaurant-cum-club achieved legendary status, the good people behind La Folie Douce felt Val itself could do with a touch of their party-hard philosophy. The result is Café Face, a thumping après ski venue that immediately vaulted itself into the class of the town’s nightlife mainstay, Dick’s Tea Bar.

Hedonists wishing to compare each bar’s merits won’t have to travel far as they’re situated opposite each other.  With stripped brick walls, comfy leather couches and low lighting, Café Face has an air of sophistication. That is until Val’s hedonists arrive from the slopes and the décor soon gets obscured by sun-tanned (often burned) faces and sweaty bodies grooving to the very latest in Euro beats.

Be warned – the sliding scale of drink prices amps up from opening time (4pm) until 10pm.
