La Grotte du Yeti, Serre Chevalier

Here’s a few words from La Grotte du Yeti’s owner, Clive Day aka Torchy Harper:-

With the changing of control in 2003 came many improvements which now see the Grotte du Yeti as the largest and busiest bar in Serre Chevalier.

Before 2003 the bar was over 90% Dutch in clientele and serving almost exclusively clients for Sportura Holidays, a Dutch-based company.

New owner, Mr Clive Day, an Englishman, vowed to change all that.

Whilst still used as a base for Sportura, the bar has over the last two years opened a restaurant, serving well-priced quick “café” type food for skiers, snowboarders and anyone else who is a fan of fine tuck!

With the bar at the base of the slopes directly below the Aravet télécabine, access is simple from the mountain or by road.

Open from 8.00 am until 1.00 or 2.00 am everyday with a full range of breakfasts and lunches washed down with an even fuller range of beverages, it is just what is needed.

At the end of a long day of winter sports relax in a “Happy Hour” environment of 3€ a pint for beer and acoustic live music, such as “sing a long” performances from the amazingly jolly “Sad Ugly Blokes”. With an in-house team of entertainers and musicians a lively bar and great ambience is guaranteed.

Also our delightful “shooters” at 1€ will hit the spot.

With snacks available until 7 pm there is no reason to ever leave, so stay into the evening for the huge range of entertainment available.

Saturday is welcome night, cheap drinks and a chance for us to meet you and you to meet us, we are open until 2.00am.

Sunday is live music from the Ska Bandits, a five piece dance band featuring classic Madness/ Specials songs and much more.

Monday is 70s/80’s Disco with DJ Lurve. We all dress the part so come along with the sequins and loud clothes for discounted drinks.

Tuesday is Abba night featuring Almost Abba, the only Abba tribute band in the French Alps, exclusive to the Grotte du Yeti. The songs, the costumes, a great night!

Wednesdays are theme nights, with hits from the 90s and 00s and a chance to chat and just have fun.

Thursday is the “Black and Blues Brothers” show, a seven-piece Blues Brothers tribute band. Live and rocking!

Friday is politically incorrect night with the always over the top Harper Brothers rock band. The ultimate in showmanship and atmosphere even if it is known to contain some bad language and mildly risqué songs. A fantastic way to see out your week!

Remember… we never charge an entrance fee, it’s all free admission and we never put up drinks prices for live music events. It is in our opinion a rip-off to do this so our prices remain the same reasonable rate. Also if you buy a drinks card for 200€
In advance, you can get an average of 20% discount on everything. Can’t be bad!

We now have a client base of French / English / Dutch / Scandinavians etc with no problems at all, no need for large “bouncers” on the door. It’s just a fantastic ambience where everyone of all ages from small children to pensioners can have a good time in the ultimate holiday bar.

Come and see for yourself, I bet you’ll like it.

All the best

Torchy
