Two bars or nothing

SKI BAR, ALTAPURA, VAL THORENS

60 pairs of multicoloured ski boots, 20 pairs of skis, 200 old wooden poles and 6 old chairlifts curiously turned into chandeliers or benches: the new bar of the "highest skipalace" shows the ski world in all its glory. To be enjoyed on the way back from the slopes, warming up with an Apple Spice or sipping a Bad Altitude cocktail, the mountain version of the very snobbish Long Island. Bonus: it's the coolest hotel in the resort.
