Les 2 Alpes Reviews & Ratings

Les Deux Alpes is a very friendly resort with lots of different accommodation to suit budget needs and group size. Pick your location within the resort carefully because it is essentially one long strip. So if you want to be near the Apres bars, find out where they are before booking your accommodation. However, you can always nip around the resort easily on the free bus service. Up on the mountain, there are excellent views and the glacier allows for Skiing much later than other resorts. There is a large pack community, making it very comfortable and accessible for modern British expectations, but it also retains its Frenchness. The resort is very popular in December with British universities, Which will tend to book out the less expensive accommodation blocks. The RISE music festival
has been hosted there since 2015, And largely takes over the resort in the weeks leading up to Christmas. There are lots of great bars, perfect for those who want to drink quietly, and those who want to stand on the tables. Overall Les Deux Alpes Is a lot of fun, and has relatively easy access to at least three airports.

Qué for the gondola in the morning is long but once you get up the skiing and vues & vibes are class.

Really good range of runs for all levels. Food on the mountain was expensive but not too bad in the town. Lots of shopping and things to do in the day if you dont ski. Apres was good and nice atmosphere. Some really nice off piste runs

We Arrived at Grenoble airport on 18/12/23 for a 5 day stay in Les Deux Alpes . We Used Bens Bus (highly recommendable) as transport up from the airport to the resort, the journey was roughly 2 hours. We stayed at Residence Nemea Le Hameau in a self-catered apartment which we found to be an excellent choice it had everything we needed for our short stay and was situated directly next to the Vallee Blanche ski lift. Throughout our stay we ate and drank at many bars and restaurant all highly recommendable notably Restaurant Le Sherpa and the Windsor pub all within walking distance of our accommodation and the ski lifts. In terms of ski equipment we hired our skies, boots and other gear from one of the many intersport shops located up and down the resort and our ski passes that we had purchased online were easily collectable from a ski pass vending machine at the information hut outside our accommodation. The slopes were fairly busy but nothing out of the ordinary, the conditions were perfect and the people were polite. We enjoyed lunch and drinks at the top of the glacier as well as the chance to take photos at the viewing point and explore the sculped ice caves at the highest point on the glacier with was roughly a 30-40 minute journey on the Jandri Express. Overall we had a wonderful experience and a very enjoyable stay. We would recommend this resort to all levels of skiers and to those who are beginners or accompanying children as we found the resort to be very beginner and family friendly.

was quite late in the season when i went (april) but snow was still holding on, nice resort but due to closed lifts at the end of the season it felt very small. lovely town though

The main resort slopes were quite tricky, even the greens, but if you go to Vallee Blanche on the other side of the resort the slopes are much more enjoyable and quieter too! Everything is easy to get to and lots of food and drink options. Not many alternative activities, which was a shame as the slopes were closed half the time we were there.

First experience of L2a was this year.

Although overall a very good trip, we found that for our newer riders, it was pretty challenging, there is a large learner area mid mountain that is accessible both up and down.

The resort itself was great (apart from the composting toiliet) that thing is nasty.

If you want a blast and you can handle varying terrain then this place is for you. The signal runs on the other side if the hill are fast flowy blues that you can really let your skis / board run.

Pano bar was disappointing for such and incredible backdrop, the DJs just didn't seem into the vibe.

Great above 2600m busy and poor conditions below.
In need of a dump when we went but the glacier saves this resort. Theres a super long run with 1500m verticle skiing with no lift.
The lift queues are daft and thats outside the school holidays. A new gondola is going in soon which is very much needed.
The town is a strange place to be. Again this could be to do with weather (10 degrees and sunshine in January). Bars at the bottom only got ready for apres at 6pm. Strange.
Great food options through the town.

Amazing resort, so many great runs. Never too busy!
Apres is always the best there, especially at umbrella bar.
Ski school and staff are amazing with children of all abilities, had lots of beginners who were still able to go up the gondola lift to use buttons lifts and magic carpets.
Would highly recommend Hotel Atmosphere, staff were amazing and so accommodating I cant recommend them enough!

On mountain facilities and infrastructure are not up to standard for a resort of that size. Grooming of pistes occurs too early in the evening to be effective, particularly when overnight snow is forecast. Village has a nice feel to it with a good range of shops and restaurants. Resort would not be suitable for beginners.

I went during April not expecting great conditions however was pleasantly surprised at the great conditions. Many powdered days. I suggest going all the way to the top to experience an incredible run to the bottom. There are many apres options including on the mountain the new pano bar and at the bottom called umbrella. The resort offer lots of shops, restaurants and bar. The polar bear bar is a favourite of mine. Good night life including Smithys, Avalanche and Grotto de yeti. The resort is ideal for not only families but uni groups and friends.

I went here with work, been skiing most of my life and found this is best resort. Not particularly diverse types of slopes but good wide open slopes all the way from the top. Best ski resort I have been to, has relatively food night life

I went to les 2 alpes as a beginner skier, which I found there are greens and nursery slope perfect for a beginner. Then also the apres, resturants and in the town are all really fun.

Ive been going to Les 2 Alpes for over ten years as the quality of snow at Easter is always fantastic. Without fail, the vast majority of the ski area has great coverage and is maintained extremely well. The Vénosc end of town, close to the Diable lift, has great restaurants, excellent bars and plenty of equipment hire and ski shops. Next season the new Jandri gondola is set to open in December, cutting the time from the bottom to the top (3200m) down to 17 minutes. It will have the capacity to transport 3000 people every hour, cutting queue times massively. Prices in town at restaurants such as The Grain of Salt and Le Cellier are very reasonable and offers such as happy hour in the Ice Bar mean that chilled apres ski is not going to be prohibitively expensive. As a good intermediate skier, theres plenty of variety on the slopes, as well as the opportunity to get off piste and hit the powder. Since I first visited Les 2Alpes, Ive tried other places, but keep coming back here for a value, snow-sure, convenient trip.

Les deux alpes is a lovely resort to visit. It has a beautiful range of green, blue red and black runs! The main focus on the resort is around the blues, you can ski the top of the glacier to the resort all on long windy blue runs. Perfect for those looking to learn to ski and progress as an intermediate.
It has a high chance of good snow level throughout the season due to how high it is!
The esf ski school is great with brilliant teachers who have been there for years and are super experienced.

It is less good for advanced skiers and those looking for tree landscapes. There are some good off piste areas and good black? But overall there are not many very difficult runs.

The resort itself is pretty standard with a good range of ski in ski out accommodation and a range of restaurants.

Will definitely return!

Really poor resort for anyone other than a beginner. 90% blue runs as it is just one big bowl. Can ski the whole resort in one day.

Apres is alright, pano used to be good but has changed location up the mountain. Umbrella is good down the mountain and then avalanche and smithys for later evening entertainment. Penguin is good for the football. But other than that it lacks a lively apres and bar scene. Luckily there are a couple festivals so make sure you go during that time.

The amenities round the town are poor not many pools or spas which youd expect nowadays. A couple of super markets that will keep you going.

There are a few French mountain restaurants but sadly theres a lot of kebabs and fast food. In my opinion There are better resorts and ski areas for the money you will spend going to Les 2 alps.

L2A is the best all round resort!
It really has something for everyone.
Ive visited many times, and the next trip always tops the previous.
The locals are so friendly and always happy to help, the transportation links and ease of access makes it super simple to arrive stress free.
The new lift infrastructure is absolutely amazing, having witnessed it before I truly was lost for words when I saw the brand new lifts!
The resort flows from family oriented zones, to sophisticated spa hotels and restaurants to the best bars with great music all somehow in harmony of eachother!
The mountains are perfect for all abilities, the maps are so easy to follow, and once on the hills the clear signs make for a perfect day exploring.

Great resort. Wide choice of runs which are long and for all levels of skiing ability.

The resort is suitable for all ages, families, groups, Uni trips and just ski holidays.

Skiing great, Apres ski great, restaurants great. I would recommend resort.
