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.

Affordable for lots of people. Accommodations are nice and food around the area is really good. People there are friendly and helpful. Rentals were great and kept in good shape and lots of shops for you to walk around. ESF instructors were nice funny and knowledgeable. Definitely going back.

Went here on a university trip. Great apres and nights out. Accommodation I stayed in was 3 stars supposedly but was awful. Skiing tends to get quite crowded as the resort is fairly narrow. Not good in a white out as most runs are above tree line.

I was here during rise festival so my experience may be different to the rest of the season. The tracks were busy which isnt usually a problem but the majority were beginners so there was a lot of people on the floor in inconvenient places and sometimes blocking most the path. The tracks were good but most the greens were closed and the tracks became very icy and had clumps of ice on the track. Pints averaged about 10 but that might be festival prices. The lifts are not close to each other and can be up to a 20-30 min walk to get from one lift to another. Theres lots of bars and clubs with a wide range of drinks and music and the takeaways are banging.

Les 2 Alpes is a beautiful place and has some incredible mountains like youve never seen before!

However, I found this resort to be somewhat problematic. The whole town is on one long road and you have to walk really far to get from one location to the next unless you manage to get public transport.

There are lots of places to stay and the overall town is full of restaurants and bars and theres even a great restaurant/bar up on the mountain so you can enjoy a drink with the most breathtaking views!

If youre looking for a party in the nights or even days and skiing/snowboarding down some incredible terrain then Les 2 Alpes wont disappoint.

Les 2 Alpes - a great resort to take families. Our party of 10, age range 5yrs to 75 all had a fabulous time. Skiing was varied and all found a great deal of variety to suit all ability levels. Our trip was Easter 2024 snow levels were topped up with regular falls of new snow and only the village runs suffered from the warmer weather. Ski school was great for the youngest members. We stayed in a self catering chalet which was excellent and managed to eat out on three nights and really enjoyed good food, good prices and good service. We always met up at lunchtime on the mountain, which was on the expensive side. Lifts were extensive and offered lots of alternatives to reach various points. This will only improve with the opening of the new high speed, comfortable Jandri replacement.
We will be returning to Les 2 Alpes.

Les 2 alpes was a great experience, they had a large range or runs and different changes to face on the mountain, the skiing was incredible with amazing views and a great snow quality higher up the mountain, due to the time I went the snow lower down the mountain wasnt great but thanks to the glacier and the pure height of the mountain this was not an issue, the food and drink there are expensive but that is expected with a ski resort, while les 2 alpes is a great ski resort it has a long way to go and need some infrastructure upgrades however they are currently underway building many ski lifts across the resort so this will not be a problem, I recommended going as it is a nice small ski resort and a very good experience especially if you like visiting different resorts, would recommend

Great long runs up to about 10km meaning not huge waiting times at the lift and more time spent on the slope.
Great for skiing for a much longer season as the mountain has a glacier under the snow to keep cool up until June. I visited in April last year and the snow was perfect so good that I am going again in April 2025. Less people on the slope but still great snow.

A great resort, well served with lifts and apres. Runs back to the lower resort get packed at home time, and very slushy if warm. Umbrella Bar is the place to be for after skiing and a good time will be had by all. The upper slopes have a lot of blue runs, so dont be afraid to go high up, you can always get a lift back down if the runs are packed

I love coming to LDA.
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!

Les Deux Alps is a great resort for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. The groomed runs are fantastic and the views from the top of the mountain are second to none. If you're looking for some off piste action then there is plenty to choose from. The Apres will welcome you after a long day out on the mountain and you can party into the evening after you've managed to get down the mountain. The town has loads of shops and bars so you're spoilt for choice. Overall a great resort.

Have been to this resort a couple of times. Plenty of decent skiing but very limited off-piste, although this was emphasised by the conditions while I was there. Pretty lively nightlife and full of young adults/students. Dont really like that it gets dark so early due to how far down into the valley the town is. Views from the glacier are amazing though!

Went there for rise and also going this January coming. Amazing destination and recommend to everyone. Had some really good sunsets last year and the apres is SOOOOO GOOD!! Plenty of air bnb options but you have to be quick as our options did get picked multiple times as we werent quick to book. Ski lifts are busy but it is what it is for the amount of people that go there. All in all highly recommended!

Been there 4 times and still love it. Love the vast high altitude skiing area and the steep slopes at the bottom as well as the off piste and snow park. The parties at Pano bar in the middle area of the resort are absolute beasts. I like the restaurants options as well. I really enjoy the resort every time I go there, wonderful place!

A great report with a great option for off-piste and back country action! Whilst I was there unfortunately the XL jumps in the terrain park where not in use but they still had a good range or rails and other jumps with kickers. Staff are very friendly

As everywhere in France, dont expect anyone to be accepting of you unless you have a flawless French accent.

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.

I turned up for the first time and within half hour I knew everything I needed to know. Slopes were very well managed and maintained. Plenty of hire shops, loads of places to eat out and a very good area for night life.

Les Deux Alps is nestled in the perfect location with a well connected cute town sitting at the base of an all year round skiing experience for all abilities. The village sits at an altitude of 1,650 metres so in the peak of winter you are comforted with a beautiful setting of snowy capped chalets amongst the beautiful streets. The lifts run to an amazing picturesque altitude of 3,600 meters where you are placed into the largest skiable glacier in Europe. Being sat in a valley, you are always surrounded by incredible views that Lee you feeling humbled, whilst also having the security that what ever runs you follow down the mountain you will eventually hit the base of the town. Although this means the last run can sometimes get busy in Christmas or spring time, it does mean that with your friends or family will always find there way to the bar. Nestled in the upper region of the resort, L2A has a brilliant freestyle park that caters all abilities with the fun park section having features for the kids, along with the proline featuring huge boosters that are good enough for the pros. L2A is also host to several competitions over the winter and is home to the largest on snow festival in the world, Rise Festival. Boasting a wide range of long and beautiful ski runs, once you are done for the day using all your energy, the town is there to comfort you. At the base of the Coolidge slope at the core brine hotel, you can unclip your skis and stroll straight into the Umbrella bar which hosts a rage of amazing talent from DJs to live bands and dancing crews from all over the world. Straight over the road from here, if there is bad weather, why not check out Smokey Joes with a pool table, great food, live music and free wi fi to re charge before the night out. When you hit the town later in the evening, check out Windsor pub, secret bar, polar bear pub, red frog or the mowtown café. You are sure to find what you are looking for at this amazing French ski resort. For more information feel free to ask me @hugo__taylor over on instagram and Id love to share some light. Big love, keep that dream alive️
