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.

Thoroughly enjoyed L2D. New Jandri gondola complex is very efficient and quick to bring you to 3200m. Some very enjoyable runs but tricky in icy conditions.

Very unique opportunity to ski the Glacier along the Signal 1 run.

If you are on the south end of the town, getting the Diable chairlift and then take the Super Diable, you can take a nice run along a blue to the Gondola stop to the top of Jandri. Acts as a nice warm up and helps to avoid the crowds at the bottom Gondola stop. Also means you dont have to trek as far to the lift.

No complaints with rental equipment in the resort, and the accommodation had great facilities, was modern and clean.

I've been to this resort twice, once during Rise festival and the other mid-late season.

During Rise festival If you're going for the skiing the it's best to going somewhere else.

The overall slopes during normal season is one of the best casual ski resorts I've been to, it does lack much variety, but has very well maintained slopes for a great ride.

Brilliant village and night life with a range of restaurants and activities. However the slopes were very icy and I believe some of the slopes should have been changed on their difficulty as I had friends struggling to do some blues over reds and greens over blues

Stayed with the family 2 adults and 2 children (5&3). The village is long and narrow so youre never too far from the slopes, ski school was brilliant for our 5 year old, lots of space on the nursery slopes and plenty of magic carpets to progress onto button lifts. We were there during quite a warm period and although the lower slopes did get slushy by mid day, the abundance of high altitude runs meant there was still lots of excellent runs available. Lots of good cafes, bars and apres bars. Our new go-to resort!

So went here for skiing and rise festival.
I have been skiing since I was 7 years old (now 31) learnt on a dry ski slope.

However I have been skiing in Bulgaria and Andorra before.

The resort itself outside of skiing is not great and not much to do in the evening, there are a few bars, but no nice restaurants and not much selection. Im not sure if that is due to the festival (in terms of food options on the menu)

The slopes where not ideal, as two of my friends who are beginners, the green and blue runs where icy and some of the blue runs were quite stoney also.

Overall I wouldnt recommend going to a ski resort and doing a festival where they are hosting also, it was an experience and a good one. But would rather just stick to doing just skiing holidays

Very underrated resort, can find a lot of room even in high season. Doesnt have the high spec of pistes and lifts that the luxury resorts have, but as a result prices are lower and pistes are quieter. Recommend!

Resort seemed to be aimed mostly at beginners as the there was mainly blue runs, didn't see very many reds and blacks, not every run was open due to low snowfall but the blues we did do were super fun, have recently installed a new gondola which is very nice

We did rise festival here, very early in the season so the snow covering was light which left many runs closed or rocky forcing all the beginner to stay on a handful of runs. The signal lift was the best area good off piste near the glacier.
Festival apres was unbelievable full sets until midnight with a lot of people out every night.

There are lots of very long blue runs which are good for beginners and intermediate level ski and snowboarders. Some red and some black pistes. The new gondola lift is big and fast. The level of snow at the top half of the resort is always good enough to ski most of the season. The resort is quite expensive for food and drink. Overall a great resort.

Les 2 Alpes is a small to medium sized resort. It is home to the ski festival Rise Festival which takes place early season and kicks off the season with a bang.

There is an abundance of blue runs which are reliably open with changing conditions. Allowing the opportunity to ski from 3600m to 1600m continuous. However, the offer of the few greens and reds are less reliable. The slopes are shaped around large off piste areas which open up the resort, especially connecting certain areas of the park together. The slopes also offer a snowpack for freestylers, several bars and food, plenty of lift access across the park and some viewing points to enjoy on bluebird days.

The resort is well connected to neighbouring villages but some lifts and also a bus shuttle service which drops off at lift access points. In the main resort you can find an abundance of ski shops for rentals or those last minute items. There are many places to eat with La Sherpa, Buzz and Pizza Chalet being hot spots to frequent. If a pub crawl is your thing, youre in for a treat with 31 options, all a variety of offerings.


Enjoy your stay at Les 2 Alpes with several loft options, ski from 3600m to 1600m continuously and enjoy the nightlife it has to offer.

I have visited Les 2 Alpes twice. First for a musical festival and the second time with a friend. The runs are comfortable for an intermediate skier but a more advanced skier may friend them uninteresting. The apres ski is enjoyable including the Pano Bar up the mountain. There is also a good range of fast food and restaurants. There are a number of bars and pubs as well. The bus that runs through the resort is accessible and accommodation is plentiful and r reasonable.

Some runs very flat, especially the run on top of the glacier. Snowboarders need to make sure board is waxed, step in bindings useful.

Came during Rise Festival. Got super cheap tickets through a raffle prize so, while I'm not a huge fan of the music, the cheap snow was a no brainer so can't speak too much to value for money for the avg person). The festival is VERY early in the season. When we arrived there was very little snow. Luckily we had a massive dumping literally 1hr after we arrived that carried through the next couple days. This helped a lot but the coverage was still pretty thin. They had snow cannons on pretty much the whole time but the bashing didn't seem to spread it out much and a lot of runs (mostly reds and blacks) were still closed. Other than that the lifts were great and somehow the slopes weren't too busy (except a few outliers). As someone who tends to go on a ski holiday purely for the snow, I don't normally do much Apre. That said this trip I have and it's been so good. The live band in the tent were great, the beer isn't any more expensive than drinking in a major city in the UK and the late hours events have been awesome. All in all, I'd recommend the resort but I'd suggest coming later in the season if you're looking for good snow conditions. It looks like with a few more dumpings the side piest hits would be so good.

Visited for rise festival so slightly busier slopes are to be expected. The majority of pistes were nicely groomed however some pistes remained closed the entire week. The food and drink options around the resort are good prices are pretty average. The town itself is on the larger side and has plenty of options depending on what you enjoy.

Loads of good blue runs with really good lifts, especially the new Jandri cable car. Not enough beginner slopes or at least the lifts for them never seem to be open. Some really nice restaurants/bars on the mountain with great apres ski.

A limited number of green runs down to the bottom of the mountain, but main lift does still provide an option down for beginners.
Not a full ski in ski out resort but can ski to a couple of lifts.
Lots of options for speed up and down the mountain along with a lot of food options
