Les 2 Alpes :: Description

Les 2 Alpes, with its southern location and sunny slopes reaching up to 3,566 m, offers one of the highest glacier ski areas in the world. Whether summer or winter, great snow is guaranteed in this off-piste paradise. Most of the pistes are located higher than 2,500 m. In addition to stunning mountain scenery, Les 2 Alpes offers many boutiques, restaurants, pubs and discos. Les 2 Alpes - the ideal combination of perfect snow and southern flair! The large centre of Les 2 Alpes is quite different than the compact centres of most French ski resorts. The lifts and pistes covering both sides of the valley end direct in the centre. Many shops and boutiques are available for afternoon shopping trips, and countless bars, cafes and international-themed restaurants are waiting to welcome you as a guest. The leisure time offer in Les Deux Alpes is truly first class - whether paragliding, ice skating, bowling, helicopter tours or ice climbing, the options seem endless!

Les 2 Alpes :: Après-ski

The transition from skiing to „après-ski“ is seamless as both the apartments and the different après-ski bars are at the foot of the slopes. Many guests enjoy the end of their skiing day in the "Yorin-Bar" which is the SnowTrex bar in the Village. Already at noon the first ones "practise their turns". Before the last ones leave, it is mostly late evening. If you still havenamp;acute;t got enough, you may dance on in one of the several discotheques of Les 2 Alpes. The SnowTrex representative will organise a diversified programme, e.g. a tour through the pubs and discos and a traditional raclette evening - a real MUST! You can enjoy ice skating at the ice rink or the swimming at the swimming pool of Les 2 Alpes as the entrance is included in the lift pass.

Les 2 Alpes :: Skiing

The fast "Jandri Express" and the metro "Dôme Express" will lift you to the glacier (3.566 m) in a few minutes. What a smashing view!

This fact guarantees perfect snow conditions for the first turns at any time! An absolute highlight is the Snowparc on the glacier which is 240.000 m2 large and unique in Europe. It offers 2 halfpipes, a boarder-cross-track, severals jumps and other obstacles. Due to its singularity every year the "Mondial du Snowboard“ is held here.

Les 2 Alpes :: Cross country

Les Deux Alpes provides 21 km of cross-country skiing run. Amongst these you can find a skating track and a trail suitable for dogs. The runs in the high valley are of lower difficulty and therefore ideal for enjoying the incredible winter scenery and the marvellous view of the Écrins-Massif! The high run near the „Dôme de la Lauze“ glaicer is assured of snow. If you should desire more variations just switch to the trails in the region.
