Les Deux Alpes
High mountains, glaciers and modern convenience in one of France's top resorts
Les Deux Alpes is a vibrant resort town set against a backdrop of mountain pastures and high alpine peaks, with one of the largest glaciers in Europe. As France’s second oldest ski resort and the main resort of the French Dauphine region, Les Deux Alpes can confidently cater to all abilities with its gentle nursery slopes, wide range of ski schools, powder-filled off-pistes and challenging red runs. The resort is also extremely snowsure and even hosts summer and autumn camps on the glacier for skiers and snowboarders.
Les Deux Alpes is one of France’s premier resorts and set to become one of the most exciting destinations in Europe. By 2018, an 18-pylon gondola will link Les Deux Alpes with neighbouring Alpe d’Huez to create an incredible three-resort area with La Grave, boasting not one, but three glaciers.Whether you’re stopping off at the local chocolaterie, enjoying a spot of snowshoeing, mountain biking or shopping in one of the many equipment stores lining its two main streets, Les Deux Alpes is an impressive winter and summer playground.
