The après-ski party: music, karaoke and silent disco
Imagen
At ski resorts, après-ski is the party that starts when you come off the slopes. At the Après-Ski themed event it starts after dinner or the competition.
- Live music or a DJ with the anthems of mountain terraces.
- Professional karaoke for those who dare to sing.
- Silent disco with wireless headphones, to keep the party going on terraces or in venues with a volume limit.
- Disco ball and warm lighting to create the mountain lodge mood.
The décor completes it: wood, check blankets, vintage skis and snowshoes on the walls, fir trees and string lights. If you want a winter party with beer and traditional costumes, also see our Oktoberfest themed event; Après-Ski focuses on snow and winter sports.
