Les Deux Alpes

Resort Overview

Les Deux Alpes ski resort gives you almost total snow security on the biggest skiable glacier in the Alps! Les Deux Alpes is warm and lively, with low-rise buildings and lots of hotels providing the atmosphere often lacking in an apartment resort. The resort occupies a high, wide and sunny valley with excellent skiing on both sides.

On The Slopes

Take a ski holiday in Les Deux Alpes and you'll soon find that the runs you see from the resort are only half the picture! Invisible from the valley are miles of piste on the biggest skiable glacier in the Alps where skiing is possible 365 days a year. This enormous and high plateau is one of the best things about Les Deux Alpes ski holidays, offering crisp snow, bright sunshine and easy runs well above the tree line.

Ski holidays in Les Deux Alpes are great for beginners, who benefit from the gradual progression and wonderful conditions. The ski school is so good we even recommend novices for these ski holidays! Les Deux Alpes allows absolute beginners swift and painless progress and there are convenient nursery slopes and lifts in the village itself. However, even a beginner may find themselves at the top of the mountain by the end of the week as it is possible to ski down from the glacier to the resort solely on wide, pleasant, blue runs.

Les Deux Alpes ski holidays offer intermediates endless cruising runs and some amazing powder on not-too-steep slopes at altitude. The runs back to resort are great to challenge the intermediate skiers and beginners can either take the long looping green or a gondola.

There is plenty for advanced skiers including the fearsome offsite run to La Grave. This is one of the greatest ski runs in the world but it is only for the real expert, with a Guide. Some of the best black runs are situated immediately above the village.

Les Deux Alpes Snowboarding

The terrain at Les Deux Alpes is great for snowboarders and there is also an excellent terrain park, with a huge array of jumps and rails, not to mention two half-pipes. The runs are long and wide and are perfect for beginners and intermediates.
