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.

Very good experience at les 2 alpes, came for ride festival and enjoyed a full week of skiing in accommodation close to multiple lifts. Slopes got busy but was never too busy as there is a lot of ski area to cover and slopes are wide.

Great resort for pre-season! Good snow and no one on the slopes. Good après at pano bar, and great selection of bars and restaurants in the village.

Rise festival has been a blast so far, runs are quite hard for a beginner. Blue run on Sunday was very bad visibility and made it even harder, had to walk down most the mountain

Very good resort, very good restaurants, everything within walking distance. Recently added another bar/place to grab a quick bite on the slopes.

Loved it here At rise @ les2 alpes was fun lots of beginner learner skiers because of the festival so lots of people falling over etc but some of the harder runs were nice & quite! Had a load of snow dump before we got here and had just been sunny since we got here which has been nice! Having to go higher as the week goes on. 8/10

It was a pretty good stay, mixed group of 8, some brand new skiers, some intermediate and 1 who transitioned from ski to snowboard.

We stayed in a hostel at the point info, rooms were a bit dirty, but overall good quality accommodation with storage, ski-in/ski-out for Valle Blanche, swimming pool and spa. No option for food, it was all self catered with very basic kitchenette.

Slopes were good, it wasn’t too busy as we went just before the school holidays. A few good powder days during the week, and 1 day with awful ice on the slopes. Night skiing was good, but was only open for a red run on Valle Blanche (this has changed, there is now a green route included on the night skiing for 2025/26). Great ski school with ESI helped the beginners, transitioner and the intermediates develop.

Apres was ok, nothing to call home about, some good DJs and sets amongst some of the bars and clubs, and some nice quiet pubs in the evenings.

Access is easy through Grenoble with bens bus, once you’re in the town, no need to really leave, so a car is a bit redundant.

1 week, 8 people, with ski pass, rentals, accommodation and flights from London came to about £450pp, with an extra £300pp spent while out there. Quite an affordable holiday

Booked to crossover with Rise festival. Vibes have been great, 1st week of the season, decent snow and quiet slopes. Multiple locations for après - all good music and vibes. The resort caters for all sorts of budgets, this particular trip was on a budget, everything included (flights, ski pass, transfer and accom) for less than 1K and the accommodation is ski in/out. If you book far enough in advanced you can definitely get good deals. Just need to be wary with the time of the year as snow is sparse at the bottom layer in the season. However, there are still plenty of runs to ski around the glacier.

Had a great time in Les Deux Alpes! Had some icy conditions though - the “blue” down to the resort especially is one not to be messed with!

Went on a uni ski trip and it was perfect for mixed ability groups! Good apres ski and clubbing options too, but definitely wasn’t anything too wild!

Lifts are great in terms of efficiency. Slope maintenance is excellent. Only thing i’d say is i wish there was a bigger variety in slope difficulty.

We booked a self catered apartment through booking.com and it was right at the bottom of the slopes and very near some of the acres ski bars. The atmosphere in these bars was brilliant but the slope bars close relatively early so families staying nearby won't be bothered by noise ans not being able to sleep. Lots of options for food along a small and compact town (due to the geography). Seems like a great resort for groups and there were a number of universities making use of the facilities. Lifts are quick and it is majority chairlift which is good news for snowboarders.

Les 2 alps is one of my favourite places I’ve ever skied. It’s great value matched with long slopes and great conditions on the glacier make it impossible to get bored. The town has a chiller but fun vibe compared to other resorts I’ve been to. A great atmosphere and always a resort I keep an eye out for since it regularly has good value packages available. Ive not rated it a full 5 because i personally believe it’s neighbouring resort Alpe D’Huez is better - however a bigger challenge to find a holiday there for same value. Note - if you get a lift pass at Les Deux Alp for 6 days you can ski for one day included in Alpe D’Huez for no extra cost - Highly recommend for more adventure!

Really great resort for those who are a bit newer to skiing as not as big of a resort as others BUT you have a load of blue and red runs so great to have fun on and get a load of skiing in place!

Really enjoyed Les 2 Alpes. Great ski area which well sign posted. A few lifts could be upgraded but generally very good. Nice big wide cruisy runs. Well groomed pistes every morning. Good selection of mountain restaurants. Nice village. Would definitely return.

Fantastic resort. Gondala to the top of resort is fantastic and really quick. There’s definitely some quieter runs around mid point of the mountain. April was quite slushy at the bottom, but that is to be expected. Great apres ski and resort town.
