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.

Was my first time skiing ever and went with my boyfriend. Had a great time learning at this resort and he still had a brilliant time doing the harder runs he liked.
We had such nice dinners and found some lovely places for a drink after.
This place has definitely given me the ski fever and I would love to go skiing again here any day.

Tree runs! Nuff said.

No, seriously. For me this is the king resort for tree runs. It will always hold a special place in my heart for that special feeling you get cruising through trees.

Mostly Blue runs, not very beginner friendly as most of the greens are near the bottom but can be icy at times. Best to take the quiet blue runs as a beginner. Can be quite busy and a small resort but is cheap.

Load sob ugh speed ski lifts and a great selection of top quality ski schools.
2 hours from Grenoble makes it easily accessible.

An excellent resort for skiers and boarders looking for a good mix of being on the slopes and apres.
Not a huge number of runs but a good difficulty range within the runs there, and an excellent glacier section.
Well equipped and large snow parks with enough space.

Great resort that would suit groups of friends or younger winter sports enthusiasts.

A great all round resort, with excellent apres ski, at bars like Umbrella as well as bars and clubs in the town. There are some long runs including from the top of the resort all the way down into the valley. The lifts can have fairly sizeable queues in the mornings, especially for the main gondolas, but other options on chair lifts are available.

Great resort, although we weren't lucky with snow conditions. The runs that were open back to resort got pretty hectic at the end of the day, but they seemed to be working hard to keep conditions as good as possible. Apres was good fun too!

Lovely vibe at these slopes!! Some runs are super chilled then end up being a small path so for learners look out for that! Good chance to practice thinner and flatter routes! Other than that the routes from the peak are insane!!!

I went during the rise festival.
The music festival by night and skiing by day.
The lifts were fast and efficient with very little queues.
The skiing higher up the mountain with blue runs was very fun and picturesque
The accommodation that we stayed at during rise, turned off the internet/wifi so this wasnt even a payable upgrade.
They supplied temporary linen, but if you wanted actual bedding and linen or towels you had to pay extra for this.

First time in Les 2!
I took a friend who had never been skiing before so this review comes from both experienced and inexperienced eyes.
We loved it! So many nice restaurants and bars ranging from cheap to a bit more pricey but it was all so good!
Plenty of shops and supermarkets, multiple ski hire places. Its easy enough to walk around but there are shuttles every few minutes.
We visited early in the season but the runs were all very well kept despite the lack of snow, and when it did finally snow they were very well maintained.
Loves Les 2, we would definitely go back!

Resort was easily accessible by car, lots of parking but hard to know where to park at first. Accommodation was near the slopes. There was a variety of slopes, didnt do much off piste as weather was poor and I tore an ACL on a freestyle lesson.

There was lots to do - paragliding, back country ski lessons, freestyle lessons.

Shops were average priced compared to other resorts Ive been to.

Apres couldve been better but there were a few nightclubs and bars nearby

Popular with Brits, limited ski area in terms of there really only being one main resort. The 10km run from the summit back down to resort is worth doing once but then you feel you have pretty much completed it. Apres bar on the mountain is far away from resort but good fun. Run back from lifts to resorts can get majorly bottlenecked with inexperienced skiers and is often icy/slushy, hard conditions.

I have been going here for a long time, the options of slopes range for different difficulty, it has good options to learn on as well as a large range of blue and red runs however less black runs than some other resorts Ive been to in France. It gets very cold in winter as it is a high resort however this means it allows for skiing throughout the whole season, with help from the glacier ski runs.
The options for apres are great, lots of bars on the slopes as well as lots in the village! A great resort for groups, young couples and families! The only downside to this resort is the journey up to it which features a vast amount of hair pin corners, if you can deal with this then I would definitely recommend this resort!!

The resort and people who live and work there are awesome so friendly and welcoming. The skiing suits everyone from first timers to balcony skiers/snowboarders who have the huge jump park which is incredible to watch. Also on the mountain so many places to go and chill and eat and just look at eh views.

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
