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 is easy to find your way around. There are plenty of opportunities for challenging runs. Some of the best mountain restaurants can be quite full and booking is recommended. The Valley Blanche side is worth a half-day - including lunch!
I am 72 and looking forward to my first ever FREE lift pass!
We had great conditions above 2100m below was slushy come late morning and 15 degrees at the base in January. Strange conditions.
The 2km vertical run top to bottom is amazing but the piles of people in the slush near the base when youve had a couple too many at lunch is far from fun.
I imagine its a great place when its snowy in the village and if you speak fluent French. When the snow thaws its nothing special. Austria and Canada from now for us.
There is accommodation to suit everyone from cheaper rooms through to the more prestigious hotels and all of them are well served with the Navette/bus services.
The lift system is modern and very efficient and there are loads of options to eat on the hill.
Party apres is very well catered for and its also possible to get away from the crowds if you have a family!
Recommended for all traveller types!
Aprés was very good indeed, more than made up for the poor snow this trip, plenty of options for eating out the spot was a particular stand out!
Would definitely go back!
