Les 2 Alpes Reviews & Ratings

A good resort, lifts to the glacier and the higher slopes are often congested. The resort is difficult to get around, lifts become bottle necked. There are only 2-3 runs back into the resort - they get very congested from 1500.

Great resort for all round stuff, especially for learning new skills, for example park and powder skiing, everything is super accessible. As well as this being able to ski to the town was a massive plus for me as it was still ski down in mid April which is rare in most resorts. The overall skiing was great and there was some good runs, however Im not a fan of landscape without trees which l2a is very bad with as its pretty much a snow desert but thats a minor grievance. Loved the apres however, on mountain but accessible and there was a big run all the way to the bottom was super nice after an apres.

Good resort with plenty of skiing high up and a great town with plenty of entertainment. Unfortunately snow conditions meant the lower runs were not really skiable but plenty of variation further up the mountain.
Excellent place to learn, with lots of gentle, wide blues (right to the top of the glacier) but if you're looking for more of a challenge, you'll likely exhaust the blacks pretty quickly.
Off-piste options looked vast but conditions weren't suitable for much when we went.

Les 2 Alpes is the perfect resort if you love to shred groomers, with bombing blues up top on the glacier with consistently good snow thanks to the elevation. There is also some steeper, more challenging terrain to improve your skills on good quality black runs, such as Bellecombes 5.

The snow is very quality all season round, and early in the season its quieter. It can get quite busy with race schools, because of the snow and close proximity to nearby airports, it is a top spot for racers.

If the backcountry is what youre looking for, over the back of the resort is the most direct access to La Grave by ski tour.

The village is lovely, with nice stores, good ski rental stores, and some nice restaurants. Unfortunately, restaurants on the mountain tend to be quite expensive for what you get. It might be worth making a packed lunch for your day out and trying the restaurants in the village in the evenings.

Another slight draw back is the T-bar lift on the glacier, the queue can get quite long, but its definitely worth the wait.

Overall, Les 2 Alpes is a great resort, whether youre going with family, with friends, or on a backcountry trip to find some of the best terrain in Europe in the La Grace Couloirs.

Long queues and can take significant time to reach top of mountain if busy. Several choices of mountain restaurants, some with loud music.

Overall quite busy resort, recommended to download lift at the end of the day if conditions are poor for snow cover. Enjoyed the apres options, but be sure to book your restaurant in the evening!

Good resort for a more relaxed group holiday.

The area itself is not too large, but enough to do in a week and well connected so you never get too far away and can get back to town easily.

A mixture of wide long runs, mainly blue but actually a large variety within. Good mogul runs as well as flatter terrain.

The village is personally a favourite. All on one road so very easy, surprisingly affordable for a ski resort also, and much less pretentious than other resorts.

The lifts - especially most of the chairlifts need replacing, just one or two are quick and efficient, the rest are old, slow ankle choppers. Also needs to vastly improve on the use of snow cannon down into the valley, there just aren't enough to manage the runs down from cretes, and so the vast majority wear out badly or are abandoned quickly when the snows are thin or weather warm. Far too few mountain restaurants and so they are absolutely rimmed, and the toilets overwhelmed. Funicular is over filled every time, they need to stop about 20 or 30 less each time. Jandri express system is outdated, but still the best way up to the glacier. Some great runs and a great snowpark area. Lift operators need to be less lazy and sweep the seats clear of snow and help people on and off a bit better. Village great, ski hire great, hotel range great.....but its getting too busy for the lift system. Needs to modernise badly.

Apres-ski here was incredible, and there is an awesome jump park with a Halfpipe, which is pretty rare, and super fun. The chair lifts were very efficient and some even took a picture of you as a souvenir really cool! I had an incredible time I think its best to go with friends, but it was quite family friendly to. I didnt do much of piste of this resort. But all in all I had an incredible time, I would definitely recommend again as I will be returning myself

Just had a week in Les 2 Alpes with my buddy. We had a dump of fresh snow overnight on the Saturday giving us a great Sunday of powder skiing on the pistes which was lovely. Great weather for the rest of the week meant lots of great skiing. Plenty of variety of slopes - could maybe do with some more harder level pistes.
We stayed half board at Jam Session hotel. Staff were great and friendly and attentive. Its right by the slopes for a quick start in the mornings. Were not really ones for the sore ski so cant really comment on that but we had a great time.

Although good skiing both groomed and powder, the resort is small in comparison to others. The off piste skiing wasnt great but the ungroomed pistes did make up for this.
Each lift ended in an uphill climb which was my biggest bug bare.
The resorts apres ski was good with good accessibility to both clubs and bars and food was good n

Absolutely stunning resort! Perfect for beginners/ intermediates. Limited for experts but absolutely beautiful area! The views and location of everything is easily accessible. Lots of nightlife and food

A fantastic resort with something for all levels I keep going back because I love this resort it has a wide range of accommodation and options for all skiers

Really enjoyed skiing in this resort, with its wide variety of runs for all levels.
Unfortunately, I wasnt able when skiing here to try out too much of the off piste so couldnt really give much of a review for that.

On the resort accommodation and non-ski related side, the resort offered plenty of nice locations to grabs food and do some apres.

This is a resort I would definitely come back to in the future.

Great resort. Not masses of runs but they are long and wide and well
Kept. Lots of nice places to eat and good apres. Some good off piste under the Pierre Gross lift.

My boyfriend and I picked les deux Alpes to learn to ski and I can happily say that we have left the week desperately trying to book in again. Every aspect was incredible, our lessons and instructor were so thorough, the perfect combination of pushing us and supporting. The après ski was always booming with such lush vibes and upbeat music, not forgetting that les deux Alpes is also a hotspot for festivals and music events. Alongside this the village was perfect for all visitors, non-skiers/snowboarders as well as go getters, so many lovely pubs, restaurants, shops and just a gorgeous scenic area in general. Highly recommend!!!

Ive been to this resort a number of times with friends. I love the ski area, the ski park is great in particular - also lots of hugeee kickers if thats what youre into. Id recommend the ski schools too, though Ive had race training and freestyle ski training here as opposed to your usual day to day ski school lessons - but imagine these is also great! My friends and I love pano for apres and then umbrella bar after. The town is huge so lots of places to eat, drink and socialise - go to smithys!

Went to Les 2 alpes during rise festival, was my first time up any sort of mountain and I enjoyed every second of it from the friendly residents to navigating the greens and blues to the snow park days watching people do tricks

Nice open slopes, fair amount of runs. Good apres both on the mountain and down below. Snowpark is nice and fun but could do with a bit more variation. Lots of open places for off piste which are great on a powder day. Plenty of accommodation options and restaurants however some restaurants arent great so ensure to read reviews. Rise festival is a great time to come although can be very expensive as the area capitalise on this event.

I was lucky enough to spend 10 weeks out in Les 2 Alpes and loved my time. Unfortunately we werent as lucky with the snow that year and lower down near the village it started to lose snow fairly early in late February and march. However the town and the runs themselves along with the glacier skiing up high make it a great resort to visit with great aprés and nightlife. Good variety for any level skier and would high recommend.
