When looking for the ideal chalet for your luxury ski holiday, there are many deciding factors, proximity to après-ski being one. Luxury chalets are always raising the bar, and your own après-ski experience can be just as close as the room next door. Ski chalets with a private bar are arguably the most convenient way to quench your post-ski thirst. From stylish home bars to garden bars with mountain views and bespoke built-in bars with nightclubs, where will you be enjoying your favourite tipple?
It’s not an easy choice, so at Ski In Luxury, we have compiled a selection of the best luxury chalets with a private bar and exclusive après-ski scene. Be it private mixologists or self-playing pianos for ambience, let us help you find a perfect spot to enjoy your favourite cocktail or party after a day on the slopes in one of our chalets with a private bar…

2. Chalet Constantia, St Martin de Belleville
Some ski chalets with a private bar tend to be separate spaces from the common living areas; however, what if you’re looking for something a little more social? Chalet Constantia’s casual après-ski area is part of the property’s Scandinavian-style open-plan living space.
Take a break beside the artisan gin bar with a comforting social ambiance, and indulge in sophisticated drinks as you chat with the rest of the room. Alternatively, you may want to relax in the outdoor hot tub to ease every ache in your body. Adjacent to the hot tub sits a humble garden bar where you absorb the serenity of an uninterrupted mountain view. Located in St Martin de Belleville, the scenery to go with a drink from the open bar is truly breathtaking.
