Located on the lovely Plazza dal Mulin in the heart of the town, Hemingway’s Club has earned a cult reputation.

This quirky yet classy club is one of the best places in which to let your hair down. Here you can rub shoulders with an eclectic mix of people – including the odd celeb.

La Baracca

Restaurant, Swiss, European

An interesting change from the posher venues that fill this upper class town, La Baracca is a proudly hedonistic and alternative club. It is located in a converted work site hut right next to the Signal ski station. This trendy establishment has a great local vibe with a welcoming atmosphere that encourages visitors to really go for it. This includes the opportunity to dance on the tables. Before it transforms into a fully fledged club during the later hours, the restaurant also serves fabulous food.
