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.

Les 2 Alps is a great option for anyone looking to ski in the Alps on a slightly lower budget. We have found it comes in slightly cheaper than other resorts but you dont lose any quality at that lower cost. Les 2 Alps has some great skiing, its long, high altitude, blue runs are what comes to mind making it a great option for beginner-intermediate skiers. It also has one of the best snow parks Ive been to, you could easily spend a whole weekend just in the park. Back down in the town Les 2 Alps us a great bar scene, I stayed over New Years Eve and had a great night out, organised by a holiday company based in the town. Les 2 Alps is definitley a resort I will be heading back to, and Im looking forward to doing so.

Les 2 Alpes is a weird resort. The skiing itself is not great, some nice big groomed runs at the top, but that's about it. No real off piste, tree runs, or powder offering. The apres ski is fantastic, it's a good resort for a group of friends on holiday as everyone can ski together due to the easiness of the resort and the apres will appeal after! But if you're looking for a good resort for skiing itself, avoid L2A

Went there a few years back when I was a novice. Very good for beginners but enough runs for all levels. The other side of the resort has quiet runs that get the morning sun.

I love l2a for its great snow sure terrain and (relatively) uncrowded slopes.
There is accommodation to suit everyone from cheaper rooms through to the more prestigious hotels and all of them are well served with the Navette/bus services.
The lift system is modern and very efficient and there are loads of options to eat on the hill.
Party apres is very well catered for and its also possible to get away from the crowds if you have a family!
Recommended for all traveller types!

The ski resort was good, however slopes suffered with the slightly warmer weather considering its fairly low altitude.

Les Deux (2) Alps is an amazing resort for skiing and boarding. Huge runs from the glacier at the top to the resort. Plenty of lifts to get you around. Underground train! Many beginner slopes and loads of off piste. Beware the avalanche zones!

Unfortunately the week I went to Les 2 Alpes it was very warm and hat no snow forecast, so conditions were very slushy and there was no off-pisting to be had . Having said that lots of lifts were open due to the resorts altitude although busy.

Aprés was very good indeed, more than made up for the poor snow this trip, plenty of options for eating out the spot was a particular stand out!

Would definitely go back!

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.

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.

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!
