Nightclub with French euro-pop and techno with a sprinkling of R'n'B songs that will get you on the dance floor. Blue girl is also famous for its popular weekly sexy show - female strippers (which, it has to be said, may not be for everyone).

Couloir

Chris the owner, has over the past 5 years created one of the best (if not the best) bars in Tignes. Known as the live-music venue of Tignes, the bar has recently been extended so even more people can cram in for some of the liveliest nights Tignes has to offer.

The Couloir is also the place to go to try out some exotic flavoured vodka, with over 40 different flavours to choose from. Busy both apres-ski and into the night, it is frequented by all nationalities and ages. Tapas also available. And the restaurant upstairs is well worth a visit.

Grizzly's Bar

Well worth a look at this log cabin type bar come shop. The expertly hand crafted bar, seats and bears create an experience and atmosphere that is unique to Tignes and wouldn't seem out of place in the middle of nowhere?? The log fires both in and outside only add to alpine atmosphere. Your mum will love it - well for one drink anyway - beware of the prices!!

It's popular during apres-ski to sit on the handcrafted wooden benches on the terrace around the large open fire; if it gets cold you can move inside the cosy and ornately decorated bar and warm up by the fire. Don't be put off by the ladies' clothing in the window - Mrs Grizzly looks after the shop at the front of the building. Open 9.30am - 1am
