Skiing
Les Deux Alpes village is at 1650m and has a large amount of skiing from 1300m - 3600m suitable for all abilities. In particular the runs on the glacier are wide and suitable for beginners and intermediates. The more challenging runs are mainly coming back down to the village. The snow park is the largest in Europe and has a huge variety of jumps, runs and half-pipes etc. During the summer and Halloween fortnight, there is glacier skiing, mountain biking, paragliding, festivals and lots of other sports and events. There is a skating rink and outdoor swimming pool. Add to this a huge range of apres-ski options and the lift-linked descent to La Grave, and you have a very special destination.
Unusually the resort and ski lifts are open for two weeks at Halloween (end October early November) where there is a festival of the latest ski / snowboard equipment which you can test free of charge on the glacier. The snowpark is open.
Special interest holidays
Winter: skiing, boarding, walking, glacier. Summer: mountain biking, paragliding, white water rafting, skating, swimming, ice gliding, tennis, rock climbing, golf, trampolining, bungee jumping, adventure park, horse riding and more events arranged weekly by the resort. The itinerary is normally on the 2 alpes web site.
For bargain out of season rates, ideal opportunities for walkers, cyclists, artists and photographers to enjoy the fantastic mountain scenery - see the out of season rates.
Les Deux Alpes isn’t just about skiing, if skiing isn’t for you then there are a host of alternative activities to cater for every taste, from the exhilaration of Parapente (Paragliding) and snow biking, to holistic treatment in the tanking center. From exploring the ice caves to supping Vin Chaude with your friends.

Nearest airports are Lyon and Grenoble with regular flights from all the UK airports to both. Bus links from both airports plus car hire available. You could be at the resort in under 2 hours from Lyon. You could also fly to Chambery, St Etienne, Geneva and Turin. Les Deux Alpes is approximately 7-8 hour drive from Calais and easily accessible by car.
Distances
The apartment is centrally located in Deux Alpes but for those who don't want to ski every day, you can take the local cable car down to a beautiful Olde Worlde cobbled artisan village of Venosc - well worth a trip. Local markets at Mont de Lans (2 kms) and Bourg D'Oisans (20kms) where there is an interesting array of shops and restaurants.
Further details
Your ski pass covers the nearby resorts of Alpe D'Huez (6 minute helicopter ride available) and Serre Chevalier and Puy St Vincent. More than enough ski-ing for any enthusiast! For advanced off-piste skiing try the descent to La Grave from the top of the 2 alpes glacier - its a winter wonderland, unspoiled and amazing.
