Skiing in Les Deux Alpes

Les Deux Alpes features Europe’s largest skiable glacier and the highest glacier slopes in France, up to 3600m elevation. That means you can even ski there in summer! With 200km of groomed slopes, 70% of which over 2000 metres in altitude, it is a paradise for all skiers. There are a number of fun off-piste descents there, beginner areas with stunning mountain views, and the popular 2 Alpes Freestyle Land, at an altitude of 2600 metres. In this well-known boardercross fun park, freestylers can really let off some steam. True daredevils should not miss their chance to explore La Grave, the off-piste paradise bordering Les Deux Alpes.

Ski without limits

If all that has you chomping at the bit to start skiing, there’s good news! Les Deux Alpes is busy constructing the brand-new and unprecedented Jandri 3S cable car. It will be twice as fast as the current Jandri Express and will have almost double its capacity. That means that from December 2024, it’ll be easier than ever to reach the slopes and start glacier skiing in style and comfort.

For those who like a bit of adventure, La Grave is the place to go. There is one blue slope there, and the rest are solely off-piste descents. You can expand your Les Deux Alpes ski pass to include La Grave, where you will be taken via a snowcat upon presentation of your pass. We only recommend skiing in La Grave if you are an experience skier with the help of a professional local guide.

Activities besides skiing

In addition to spending the whole day on the slopes, there are plenty of other fun activities to do in Les Deux Alpes. Want to see the area from a new perspective? Experience the thrill of paragliding and enjoy a unique view over the mountains. If you prefer something on the ground, why not take a romantic horse and sleigh ride through the snow or go dogsledding? Hone your skating skills on the ice rink or buckled up at the Ice Glider for bumper cars on ice! Les Deux Alpes is also a great place for indoor activities if you need to escape the cold. Warm up with a dip in the La Croisette swimming pool, enjoy bowling or laser tag with the family, or visit a local spa to relax.
