The great leveller – it doesn’t matter how steep or how deep a colleague went. What matters is the performance on the après ski terrace. Table dancing or schnapps-ski partaking, company legends are unearthed during après ski.

Lesser skiers and snowboarders have long suffered the hero stories over lunch – of bosses riding unimaginably deep snow or unfathomably steep terrain. 

Sit tight mere mortals, as scores can be settled on the après ski terrace. An hour into the Mooserwirt experience, the talk has irreversibly shifted from skis on snow, to ski boots on tables.

Of all the non-ski, inclusive event activities that comprise a corporate ski trip programme, none are more sought-after or memory-creating than après ski.

Austria is the undisputed heavyweight champion of après ski but over recent years France has come to the party with La Folie Douce. Even Switzerland can let loose, if in a somewhat ritzy style.

Horses racing on a frozen lake

It’s not the down & dirty après ski of an Austrian umbrella bar, rather sheep skin seats, fine wines & cocktails, and a background of luxury retail and extravagant hotels.
