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.

Snow park is great, and added touch of slalom and boardercross means you cant get bored easily!
The one let-down was that when I visited there wasnt any snow down in the village so many of the runs were closed. I know thats not the resorts fault, but still something to consider especially when choosing the time in the season to go.
Overall a solid 4/5 and I would go back later in the season when theres a higher chance of good snow coverage
Friendly ski instructors.
Stayed in Le Sherpa hotel which was a great location and half board was very handy to not need to cook evening meals.
Lower runs were a little slushy but still skiable.
Village is nice and walkable and lifts work pretty well/fast.
The drink and food options are okay on the resort but are expensive, 18 for a jacket potato and 8-10 for a pint of beer
The new Jandri Gondola has been installed in November and takes more people and is quick at getting to the top, allowing you more time on the slopes. I found that I wasnt queuing for very long which was ideal.
There are plenty of blue runs , around 40, which are perfect.
I would recommend this as it was a cheap ski holiday
There was a mixed gondola/chair lift from back of hotel straight up to the heart of matters, with less busy black straight down at night to avoid the busy blue. The lift also took us straight to the helicopter station for c80 day return to Alpe D'huez... an exciting and great value experience and extension to the ski area... though we found ADH more crowded and the snow was worse being more exposed to hot late day sunshine. We had a good mountakn lunch but were glad to be back in Les 2 Aples for the skiing.
Tbe resort was like a proper resort mountain town with a good and varied range of affordable restaurants don't feel worried if going b&B or s/c. Plenty of bars and lots of ski shops spread through the town.
Our hotel(de la Valentine) was simple but comfortable and very friendly. They had a great boot/ski room and they put on various small treats at the bar or entertainments to keep topping up our feeling of being looked after all week.
The saying it is an alp and a half is true in that most skiing is on ine side of the valley but the ability to link giod varied runs around several tops make rhat side excellent. The other is still worth popping over to in the morning for a variation, great view and a nice lunch in the sun
All round a great week.
The resort was easy to navigate and the runs were nice.
The queues for the main gondola were very long, but we found a route up using chairlifts and easy blues and greens to make the morning more enjoyable.
Few restaurants around the slopes and après was limited
Overall very cute town though with decent restaurants and bars
Good variety of runs for all levels. Glacier makes for extra fun. Good après ski and restaurants. Equally good supermarkets for self catering.
Cant wait to go back.
Night life is amazing.
Would recommend to all ski levels
