What Skiers Say About Les 2 Alpes
Les 2 Alpes attracts a mixed crowd of beginners through to advanced skiers and snowboarders, with families and groups of friends in their twenties being common. The high altitude consistently delivers good snow conditions, and the lift system—particularly the new Jandri lift—receives widespread praise for minimal queuing. Reviewers frequently mention the lively après-ski scene at Pano Bar and Umbrella Bar, though opinions on the skiing area size vary, with some feeling the advertised piste kilometres overstate the actual terrain. The lower slopes, particularly the narrow runs back to the village at the end of the day, are repeatedly criticised for being icy, overcrowded, and challenging. Most visitors appreciate the range of restaurants and bars in the town, though some note limited and expensive on-mountain dining options.

It was a very short walk (100m) or pole ski to the Diable lift each morning. Pistes were well groomed and the ratings were appropriate. The signage wasn’t always a clear as it could be and noticeably so given what I have been used to in other French resorts. Hotel food was excellent so take the half board option. There is a hot tub you can book a 30 minute slot to use for free. Hotel lounges were spacious and comfortable. Staff were without exception superb.
The town is lively and has great aprés with live musicians commonplace. The high street is also full of traditional ski resort shops like local produce, wine etc. There were lots of restaurants and bars available to choose from. We just enjoyed the bars.
It is easy to get to this resort by bus in less than a couple of hours from Grenoble train station. Grenoble is linked to Paris and the SNCF journey was just over two hours.
All in all, not that extensive but a great choice for a short break.
The restaurant options were great and there was some nice bars to visit in the evenings.
Excellent value for money
Great runs and lots of Apres ski options
Loads of bars and restaurants and shops
Whole resort friendly

Hotel Le Sherpa, in the heart of the village is an absolute treasure.
The other times we have stayed at hotel le sherpa which is outstanding.
The half board option gives you a fresh tasty continental breakfast and amazing evening meal.
Rooms are clean and spacious. They've recently refurbished the hotel, added another floor and extended the dining area.
The location of the hotel is as outstanding. A 2 minutes walk to the main gondola and depending on the snow level, you can often skit to about 30m from the hotel.
The runs here are so much fun. Really wide and well groomed.
There's very few green runs so if you're a new skier or boarder, you won't have much choice.
We will be returning again probably in December 2026 and hotel le sherpa will be our home for the week.
If you've not been to les deux alpes, you should go.
Bus system to get you round the resort is good, especially if you are down the hill like we stayed!
