A great resort for beginners, experts, freestylers and party animals that's popular with Brits.
The name Les Deux Alpes reflects the shared history of two sheep-grazing villages (or alpages) - Venosc and Mont de Lans. Today the villages are joined as one resort by way of a 2km strip of hotels, bars and shops that runs along a narrow plateau. The result is a lively entertainment highway, vaguely reminiscent of towns in the Canary Islands. Venosc, at the southern end, boasts the most character, best hotels, bars and restaurants, and has the least through traffic. It also accesses the Diable gondola. The main Jandri Express gondola is in the centre of town near many of the apartments.
- Loads of challenging off-piste, a world-class terrain park and complimentary 'Free Respect' avalanche-awareness courses.
- Large glacier suits all skiing abilities and is snow-secure throughout the season.

- The young, predominantly Brit party element won't appeal to everyone.
- Lift queues (going up and coming down) can be endless, particularly at weekends.
- Lack of trees for bad-light days.
