WTF
If you are searching for the best apres ski, then look no further than the WTF at the Folie Douce Hotel (823 Allée du Recteur Payot, 74400 Chamonix-Mont-Blanc). The party is happening every Thursday from 18h00 until 01h00.

If partying isn’t your thing, then perhaps a well-being course is right for you.
