Les 2 Alpes Reviews & Ratings

One of the most famous ski resorts in France. Many kilometres of well-maintained pistes for all difficulties. Very fair prices. Well stocked snowpark. The slopes start at 3600 metres, where the snow is perfect and the views are breathtaking, especially the view of Mont Blanc.

Me and my family had the best holiday over new years in les deux apls, there was plenty for us to do in resort from family activities to apre and nightlife. The overall skiing was excellent and snow quality was brilliant up the mountain, we didnt have the best weather unfortunately so lower towards the bottom was icy however this didnt stop us lol. A very enjoyable ski holiday overall and would definitely come back !

Huge ski area covered comprehensively by fast high capacity lifts, lots of on mountain eating and apres! There are loads of off piste options that take days to get tracked out and the snow quality on the higher slopes is normally amazing. The grooming is superb and the glaciers, fee and belecombes areas are a paradise for intermediates looking to ski groomers. There are several beginner areas by the village as well as one at 2100m. With a vertical drop of over 2000m between the top slopes and bottom slopes this resort has something for everyone.

I've been to this resort twice now, once in March and once in April. Overall, it's a great place for a family with mixed ability. The array of green runs and beginner friendly slopes is great. The main ski schools are both fantastic too, and there's even a nervous skier school. The snow is well tended and there are several long green runs as well as lots of blues of various difficulties, but plenty of tougher routes for more experienced skiers too. The glacier means you can ski here all year round, and it's just as well because Easter time had low levels of snow lower down.

The apres is perhaps tamer than elsewhere, except at Pano Bar, although there's not enough seating there and it closes quite early. Town itself has a family friendly feel with pleasant night life. It's not too rowdy but not quiet either. People here are friendly and welcoming and it felt safe in all parts of town. Town itself has plenty of shops including a great bottle shop which I'd highly recommend.

Definitely take the cable car down to the next valley over to visit the medieval town. It's so quaint and has lovely walks and cute bars.

Overall, if you're a young group of friends, you might prefer neighbouring resorts work more going on, but for adult groups or families of varying ability, this is a great resort.

Dont go at Christmas time as its alot busier this is due to the long christmas school break so lots of families come and bring their kids this can make it harder to put your kids into ski school as they get booked quickly this can lead to there being tones of ski lessons on silgle slopes at a time making it harder to navigate round them

Great place to go! Large resort! Clean, friendly, lots of options for all levels, I managed to up my level of skiing here, and was great to meet so many like minded people, the umbrella bar is fantastic and gives you something to look forward to after skiing

I've been to Les 2 Alpes once and it was in the spring so please when reading this review bear in mind it's from a warmer period of the year point of view.

This resort is fantastic for having runs for everyone, arguably a more beginner designed resort but there are definitely loads of advanced level runs for the pros! When I was there a lot of the lower runs were closed due to lack of snow but the benefit in Les 2 is that you have the glacier. You will never run out of snow up there and it's so massive there is always something new to check out. Snowboarders will have no trouble here from my experience it's friendly to all plank sliders. It's a cheaper resort in my eyes where food and drink is actually quite affordable for all. The eating out options are amazing also, from cheese fondue to amazing pizzas there is always something around the corner. Loads of burger places as well which surprised me and all are fantastic! Apres was brilliant because it was so warm so everyone is acting like we are in summer, umbrella bar was a favourite for me it's located at the bottom in main Les 2 and it's always booming with great music, drinks and people. That place could use some security though as we had a few people lose kit or have there own things stolen which was very unfortunate. Accommodation was actually really good and pretty affordable, it's the usual 4 person to a studio type but was very clean and had no issues at all. Security on call for our accommodation and they were always lovely.

My one and quite big negative about the resort is (with all respect) the locals. We were not treated very nicely by the local bunch when we were there, now I know these guys have to put up with hundreds of thousands of tourists each year coming and invading the resort but I feel that comes with living in a ski resort. It was also end of season so I imagine they are just a little fed up but doesn't provide an excuse to 1. Over charge when they realised we were tourists 2. Use slang and offensive comments to describe us 3. Be completely reckless on the slopes thinking that they own the place.

There are a lot of factors that make Les 2 Alpes a fantastic resort and I strongly believe we just got unlucky with the downside, the highs absolutely outweighed the lows and I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a cheaper ski holiday with all the same facilities to use as others.

Thanks for reading my review

Really enjoyed my time here and would happily go back, its always good fun and cant knock it. Good apres with good vibes and not silly prices. Lovely views from the top and never felt overcrowded

We went for rise festival this year, great way to get a cheap lift pass!

Got our own accom some lovely airbnbs, that are pretty cheap or if you want to pay a bit more some great hotels with spas and breakfast included.

Nice big ski area so even when the festival was on the slopes didnt seem overly crowded.. except form the ski down from pano after apres!

Gondola takes a while and can be busy in a morning but they are currently building a new one so should improve in the next year, never had any big ques for any of the chair lifts.

Best resort I've ever been to! I spent the first 5 weeks of my race season at L2A and it's probably the best ski resort I've visited since I started skiing. Its not too big, you can easily walk everywhere with ease, but there is also a free bus option available too. There are plenty of ski lifts and all signposting where they take you to clearly. The snow park is great and there's also board cross runs too which are fun! There's a good variety of slope difficulties with most the beginner/green slopes being at the base of the resort and the remainder being scattered everywhere else.

There's no trees on the main ski side of the resort, but I liked this as It made it easier to navigate about the pieste.

Nightlife at this resort I'd great, there's several great bars and 2 clubs, and also several amazing restaurants too! Shopping is great with plenty of good shops from the typical ski shops like Decathalon amd Intersport all the way to Billabong and DC.

If you go at the right time of year you can also experience the Rise Festival, which makes the resort very busy and has the slopes packed, but the atmosphere is great!

The ESF ski school were amazing, but there was several other options of ski/snowboard schools available should you want them.

On the whole, a great place to visit, I'll definitely be coming back!

Really nice atmosphere. Great skiing for beginner's and advanced skiiers. Plenty of resurants, apres ski, bars etc to choose from.

Some of the nicest views of the alps I've ever seen.

Family friendly.

The town has only 1 late night bar if I recall and it gets very busy very quickly.

Okay resort, been 3 times to rise festival which is great fun but the resort is quite small and theres a lot of flats, not great for snowboarders

Really good skiing a lot of blues and reds not really a lot for beginners but some blue slopes work just as well lots of runs and routes to choose from.

Nursery slopes are great...no lift pass needed and free button lifts and travelators. Loads of accommodation choices and pretty good value if you find an Airbnb gem. Nice restaurants and bars, friendly people and good shops!

Ive never skiied before, coming from a tropical country, and this place has taught me how to! Great selection of slopes, lots of schools for any age, good selection of accommodations, and many restaurants & pubs to choose from. Bars next to the slopes are also great for a quick coffee break while skiing or a party after-five. Many different types of lifts, too. I highly recommend this resort to anyone who wants to go for a week-long skiing holiday!

Great variety of slopes, has a bit of everything including an awesome snow park. Lifts are efficient, and great options for restaurants and apres.

Great time early season, a little quieter. Lots of construction happening to improve lift efficiency so speed of access will be great in future!
Off piste areas are great, as well as un groomed black pistes. Some easier pistes become very chopped/icy by end of each day and busy. But not a lot of options to get from low-resort level

Two weeks skiing here. Amazing patisserie near to the accommodation for breakfast each morning. No powder during our trip but the groomed runs were great. Skied from the top to the bottom a couple of times, snow low down generally got slushy by the end of the day but high up the snow was great.
