A gentle après ski
There is plenty of après ski to be found in the village of Pralognan la Vanoise, but it tends to be of a gentler and calmer variety than in some of the trendier ski villages. A handful of restaurants offer a varied cuisine and ambience, and as these include pizzerias you can rest assured that the kids will be happy too! There are a good selection of bars, but these tend to be found in the hotels rather than lining the streets. Dancing is also available in some, just ask around in the village to find out what’s on where.
