Les Deux Alpes is a high-altitude French resort laying claim to a number of records, including the largest skiable glacier in Europe and the longest fully on piste vertical available in the world at 2,200m.

Beyond these achievements, it’s snowsure reputation and impressive off piste terrain make it a firm favourite for British visitors. The resort boasts 200km of on piste terrain, beginners are well catered for, expert skiers can head over to La Grave and the resort is also home to one of the best snowparks in Europe.

Pros and cons

Snowsure slopes and a massive glacier area
Great off piste and access across to La Grave
Lively après scene and a buzzing resort
Lots of affordable accommodation and a great deal to do off the slopes

Advanced skiers may find the slopes slightly limited for a week
Exposed slopes above the treeline can be testing in bad weather
Sun can affect the snow on the resort return runs
Lift system could do with updating, but this is planned in the coming years!

On the Slopes

Numerous upgrades have been installed or are planned over the coming seasons, with more than €500 million due to be spent on facilities, including two major new chairlifts and a massive upgrade to the Jandri Express.

There is a vast range of accommodation available in the village that stretches for almost 2km along a wide, sunny valley. Off the slopes there is a huge amount to do, including on the après front – this is it is one of the liveliest resorts in France.

The main slopes are located above the treeline but their altitude makes them amongst the most snowsure in the Alps. A huge amount of money has been spent on improving the pistes back down into the resort – there are now green and blue options back to town. Intermediates will be kept happy by the varied terrain beyond the Crêtes ridge and more advanced skiers have some great off piste to look forward to, especially if you head to La_Grave.

For Beginners

The gentle slopes at the base of the hill are ideal for beginners, especially as their sunny aspect keeps the cold at bay and several of the lifts are free.

From here, progression to longer greens on the Crêtes ridge and down the long, winding Demoiselles piste is good – just steer clear of these areas at the end of the day to avoid the crowds returning home. On a sunny day, the gentle blues on the glacier are a good option, just make sure you’re competent on draglifts.

For Intermediates

Intermediate skiers and boarders will enjoy the snow quality and the gentle runs at the top of the mountain, although some of the main routes can get busy and there is not a huge amount of groomed terrain to explore. The under- utilised Vallée Blanche sector on the other side of town has some good runs but you will need to ride slow, old chairlifts.

For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste

On piste there are some genuine blacks, including the Bellecombes 6 and in good snow both Diable 1 and Diable 2. The main attraction however is the off piste, much of which centres on the La Fée sector and the Chalance off piste route.

Expert skiers should make sure they catch the snowcat connection to La_Grave, where some of the world’s best and gnarliest off piste terrain can be found.

In the Resort

The village is a long, sprawling collection of apartments, hotels, bars and shops, most of which line the two streets that form the one-way traffic system. Much of the accommodation is very good value, certainly compared to some of the other big French resorts. Off the slopes there is loads to do and you could quite happily come here and not even head up the mountain, see the resort’s website for more details.

For Families

There is an amazing range of childcare options available and lots of choice when it comes to UK tour operators that specialise in family chalet holidays. Add this to the sunny beginner slopes on the edge of the village, great ski schools and a wide range of things to do away from the slopes and this is an ideal choice for a family holiday.

For Après

Although it is great for families, Les Deux Alpes is also home to some of France’s best après and is always very lively – none more so than during Rise Festival. Table dancing at après is a common feature at Pano Bar by Toura and then when back in the village there is a great range of bars to choose from – including Smithy’s Tavern, O’Brians, Polar Bear Pub and Pub le Windsor.

Getting to Les Deux Alpes

Grenoble is your best bet and the airport is around an hour and a half away. Chambéry and Lyon both are good options half an hour further away – the drive or transfer will take around two hours.

Grenoble airport: 1.5 hours
Lyon airport: 2 hours
Chambéry airport: 2 hours
Geneva airport: 3 hours
Calais: approximately 11 hours driving (579 miles)

Snow Overview

France

Updated 02/05

Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.

Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions

Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
