Argentière and Les Houches are more relaxed and informal than Chamonix but both have a good range of bars - a favourite being the Savoie Bar in Argentiere. For virtually round the clock apres-ski and a more lively atmosphere you need to hit Chamonix itself. Bard’ Up is probably one of the most popular bars in Chamonix and Chambre Neuf is one of the most renowned places for skiers and boarders to meet. Dicks T-Bar is situated in the oldest building in Chamonix, on the Rue des Moulins and open 7 days a week in the winter from 10 until 4 in the morning.

The villages in the Chamonix Valley offer a wide range of eateries ranging from simple crêperies to gourmet cuisine restauarants. Chamonix town itself offers a much wider variety with over 100 superb restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets. Typical dishes include the local Savoyard specialities, fondues and pizzas. Firm favourites are the La Taniere, 'over the back' of Les Houches and a favourite among locals and holidaymakers is Les Vieilles Luges Restaurant again on the slopes of Les Houches; a beautifully restored farmhouse with authentic Savoyard mountain dishes.

If in Les Houches itself, try the Le Delice - a small but busy bar/bistro in the centre of the village, offering great food and atmosphere, from lunch to late evening.

The main activities, beyond the skiing take place in Chamonix. These include a sports centre with tennis and squash courts, indoor heated pool with waterslides. There is a new fitness centre with sunbeds, sauna and a Turkish bath. Other activities include Heli-skiing, Paragliding, Sleigh rides and an ice skating rink.
