A brief overview
Heading down the last run of the day into a bustling resort,
humming from the excitement of another crisp sunny day over. Les Deux Alpes is
renowned for its excellent snow record, long hours of sunshine and high
altitude pistes. It's a superb resort for all standards of skier or boarder.
There are excellent beginner slopes near the resort and on the glacier - a
great place to learn & enjoy the superb mountain views. Intermediates have
variety while experts should hire a guide & test their ability on the off
piste runs of legendary 'La Grave' when the conditions are right. A 6 day pass
also covers a days skiing in Serre Chevalier or Alpe d'Huez. The resort of Les
Deux Alpes is rated one of our top ten for families with many fantastic family
orientated activities. Although not the most picturesque of villages, the
choice of accommodation is extensive and the selection of shops, restaurants,
bars and clubs will not leave you wanting.
