Après ski Peisey-Vallandry (Paradiski)
Vallandry is a rather quiet ski village with a number of cosy restaurants. Nevertheless, apres ski seekers don't have to miss out on the refreshments at the end of a skiing day. Directly from the piste you can access the "Mont Blanc Bar" where you can enjoy a sun downer on the large terrace with a wonderful view of La Plagne. The same also applies to "Jimmy's Bar". If you prefer a larger selection of apres ski locations, you can venture down to Les Arcs. Especially in Arcs 1800 there is a large selection of bars and therefore also a particularly lively night life.
If you rather want something more relaxed to end a skiing day you can rather turn towards the nature than the local bar scene. Vallandry lies directly at the gateway to the Vanoise national park. Go on a guided snowshoe hike or take a dog or a horse sleigh ride through the countryside. The famous iced waterfalls in the region around Vallandry, Peisey and Nancroix not only attract ice climbers, but also winter hikers. At the foot of the chair lift 74 there is also a toboggan run you can speed down in snow bobs.
