Overview of Les Deux Alpes

There are only two things associated with the number two in Les Deux Alpes; the two mountain villages and the 2km long strip that joins them to create the resort. Otherwise, it's all about the number ones; the highest skiable glacier in France, the greatest lift-served French off-piste ski area, the largest snowpark in Europe, the hub of the European freestyle scene and, if you’re down with the right crowd, the best party experience in the Alps!

Situated on the cusp of the Northern and Southern Alps only two hours from Grenoble airport, Les Deux Alpes ski area brings together beginner and expert skiers, as well as families and party people.

Despite the fact that development of the Les Deux Alpes has not always been in keeping with its historic alpine village roots (make sure you head to the Venosc end of town if you are looking for a bit of alpine charm), there are still some beautiful traditional chalets and buildings, plus the lift that takes you down to the old village of Venosc below the resort itself.

The main strip is a venerable entertainment highway, with ski lifts leading up the hill on each side by day and bars and restaurants enticing you in by night. While this may not appeal to all, there’s no denying that Les Deux Alpes holiday-goers will not be disappointed.

3 Things We Love About Les Deux Alpes

  1. Snow-sure and good access to the pistes - Spread out along the main road with beginner and intermediate skiing high up and snow-sure.
  2. Off-piste skiing - Renowned for excellent off-piste skiing, in addition to its 225km of marked runs.
  3. Glacier skiing - Glacier skiing that’s perfect for beginners and intermediates at an altitude of up to 3,600m.
