An old favourite for drinking in Chamonix, the lively bar at Chambre 9 is popular with both locals and visitors. Located opposite the train station, it’s a classic après-ski haunt with a fun, party atmosphere that would get even the most exhausted skiier in the mood.

Indeed, if you like to let your hair down and dance on tables then this is the place for you; local band Bilboas provide the live rock soundtrack, while cocktails (two for one 8-10pm) are on-hand to encourage such revelery.

Equally popular during the day, you can also head here for tea, coffee and snacks. For lunch, there’s a great selection of burgers, salads and curries, and a large al fresco terrace on which to enjoy everything on.
