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.

I loved Les Deux Alpes I improved my skiing a lot during my trip there, there are a lot of varied runs and the blues were my favourite. We stayed in an airbnb next to the belle etoille lift this is a great location for ski in/ski out and if you are focussing on skiing bc of how close wee were to lift pass office, main lifts and obviously ski in/ski out. We were only a 10 min walk into the main but of town with the bars and clubs. At the start we spent most of our time on Vallee Blanche, it has my favourite green run I've ever done, there rest of the week we mainly spent going up the diable lift the furthest up the mountain we could get because it snowed before we came and not at all during our stay so conditions were icy. The worst 2 runs I'd say are from the top of Belle Etoille to get back down into Les Deux Alpes town. Theres a blue and a green run. The green run is thin and windy and feels exposed, probably my least favourite run ever even though its only a green. The other is a blue its wider but still feels exposed, because the green is so horrible lots of beginners take it down and its very busy at the end of the night, additionally apres is up there and these 2 runs are the only way into les deux alpes town. It also got iceier as the week went on making it all the more challenging I was knocked over by people falling 3 times. So I reccommend at the end of the night taking the Belle Etoille lift down if its icy and there its busy. Views were stunning from every part of each mountain, weather was gorgeous when I was there too making it all the more magical. We didn't go to apres and more focussed on skiing. We mostly cooked our own food to save money but I wish we discovered this burger place Umami earlier in the week. I woul've ate there every night, literally the best burger I've ever had really tasty and everything is homemade, such a welcoming vibe in the restaurant and great value for money. I enjoyed all of my time in Les Deux Alpes and will definetly go back.

We stayed right by the main lift and it was an excellent location but the runs down to the village are very icy and over populated. The wider resort was good. Found some decent places on our last day. Nice little places to stop if you look hard enough. The main stops are pretty lively which was great but food was average. I'd go back to the resort but it wouldn't be my top choice.

Great ski resort with good value for money, large area and never had to queue for lifts, not too busy even in peak season. Only thing that could be improved is some tree runs

Honestly one of my best experiences as a skier! We love the French Alps in general but I cannot wait to return to Les 2 Alps! Very organised set up for the village and ski in and out resorts. Very efficient handling of queues by staff! Beautiful established pistes, and bars. Love the apres ski as well!

Me and my friends had an incredible week in L2A. Our group was a mixture of skiers and snowboarders of varied abilities and the ski area was great and catered to everyone. The apres and nightlife was amazing too.

Came to Les 2 Alpes last year right at the end of the season. With being my 2nd time ever skiing and the first ever time for 2 members of our group, we chose the resort for its large ski area and number of beginner-friendly runs.

Despite being end of March - early April, the conditions were great. The groomed slopes were kept really well and we didn't particularly experience any iciness or patchiness. Lower down in the resort there was not a lot of snow. So the roads were all free of snow and the a few of the lower down pistes were closed. This meant we couldn't ski all the way down the mountain (some people could, we just weren't keen on trying a hard blue that we'd never done before after a few Aperols at apres!)

I believe we were there during the Easter holidays but we couldn't really tell. The ski area is vast so none of the slopes were ever extremely busy. We were there at the same time as a few university groups, so apres at Pano Bar and Umbrella bar was lively. We really enjoyed it despite being a few years older than most.

Ski rental and ski school provisions were decent too. We were able to pick up our skis, helmets etc from Skiset Hibernatus the day before our lift passes became valid, and returned the equipment the day after our final day of skiing. We booked lessons for the morning of most of our days on the slopes with a teacher named Nicolo - he was really helpful in teaching us the basics, acknowledging the differing levels in our group, and giving advice on appropriate routes for our days, even when we didn't have a lesson with him.

We stayed in Odalys Résidence L'Ours Blanc. It was fine - we used the pool twice and the sauna once, as we didn't realise we needed to pay and book a slot for it. The room was decent, clean and had a lovely view. The boot room was decent and opened right on to the street within a few minutes walk of Le Diable lift.

Overall, Les Deux Alpes was a great resort for our mixed group of mid-20s beginner skiers.

Loved it! Great wide slopes, loads of variety, beautiful scenes. Good vibes for apres. Didn’t manage to do much speed at the top because of the weather but at the bottom it was great fun.

Great resort. Very high so decent snow even when hadn’t been any fresh snow for a few weeks. Simple resort to get around. Loads of nice bars in the town. Food options on the slopes were pretty limited.
