The Marmot Arms Bar

Pub-style restaurant and bar at the bottom of the Palafour chairlift in the heart of Tignes le Lac

Location
Tignes

The Marmot Arms Bar has spent over a decade establishing itself as the place to be for holiday-makers and seasonnaires in Tignes. Opened in December twenty eleven by Alex and Will, it proudly claims the title of the world’s first and only marmot-themed pub, and it wears that badge with confidence and character.

Perfectly located at the bottom of the Palafour chairlift, The Marmot Arms is impossible to miss after a day on the slopes. Après-ski is very much its speciality, with live music or DJs throughout the week and high-energy DJ nights that keep the party going well into the evening. When the weather closes in, the cosy, warm, wood-clad alpine interior makes it an ideal place to while away the hours.

Behind the bar, you’ll find a solid selection of draught beers including lagers, ales, IPAs and cider, alongside a wide range of wines and spirits. The all-day kitchen is a real highlight, serving what many consider the best homemade gourmet burgers in Tignes.

With Sky Sports on multiple big screens, friendly staff known as the Marmoteers, and a buzzing atmosphere, The Marmot Arms quickly feels like your favourite local in the mountains.
