Best Ski Resort for Après-Ski in Spain: Baqueira - Beret - Après-Ski Rating 3.78

Baqueira's après-ski scene offers something different from your typical Alpine party resorts. While one Snomad community member notes it "doesn't quite have the après of a French resort," there's still plenty to enjoy. The mountain has bars and restaurants for post-ski beers, with the Moet bar getting special mention as "brilliant for après" without the usual mountain price tag. For livelier evenings, head down to the towns of Arties or Vielha where you'll find excellent nightlife options. As Terry points out, despite being an upmarket resort, prices remain surprisingly reasonable throughout.

#2 Sierra Nevada - Après-Ski Rating 3.38

Sierra Nevada's après-ski scene gets mixed reactions from our community. One Snomad user enjoys unwinding on terraces with stunning sunset views over Granada while sipping drinks. Several reviewers mention decent après options, though it's not the resort's strongest point. "Great for families, not so much for young party people," notes Joseph, an advanced skier. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than rowdy, with most venues scoring moderately in users' experiences. For those wanting a post-ski beverage, expect to pay around €4-6 for a beer. Perfect for sociable evenings rather than wild parties.
