Les 2 Alpes AUVERGNE-RHÔNE-ALPES, FRANCE
Perched high in the French Alps, Les 2 Alpes is a resort that defies seasonality. Renowned as one of the highest ski areas in France, with a long winter season and reliable snow, it’s evolved into a true year-round destination. It’s equally suited to thrill- seekers, families and those looking for a quieter, more contemplative experience in the mountains. Stretching from 1,650 metres (5,413ft) to 3,600
metres (11,800ft), the resort offers 220km (136 miles) of slopes and an impressive 2,300-metre (7,545ft) vertical drop. With 75% of the terrain above 2,000 metres (6,561ft), skiing is guaranteed from late November until 31 May, followed by the Spring Training Sessions for ski clubs and federations. Les 2 Alpes is ‘upside down’, a rare layout where
runs become easier as skiers climb, allowing beginners to gain confidence at altitude. The terrain caters to all: from steep black runs and freeride zones to gentle beginner slopes and a world-class snowpark. Weekly night skiing adds something extra, while off- slope highlights include the ice cave at 3,400 metres (11,154ft), views of Mont Blanc from 3,200 metres (10,500ft), and apres-ski on Avenue de la Muzelle.
Spring brings longer days, golden light and
quieter slopes. Les 2 Alpes also opens its Bike Park for the season, allowing visitors to ski in the morning and ride trails in the afternoon. By summer, the resort is a paradise for bikers
and hikers. The Bike Park has 83 miles of trails, two pump tracks and an Easy Park, catering to all abilities. Hikers can ascend to 3,400 metres (11,154ft) for 360-degree views from the Belvédère walkway. Meanwhile, families enjoy activities such as summer sledging, paragliding and golf. Autumn paints the landscape in fiery tones,
offering peaceful hiking and late-season biking. Open during the All Saints’ holiday, it’s a perfect time to enjoy the stillness before the snow returns. Since 2021, Les 2 Alpes has committed to
innovation and sustainability. The new Jandri cable-car and five modern lifts — powered entirely by electricity — mark a shift towards a low-impact future. Groomers now run on renewable HVO biofuel, reducing emissions by 90%, while local conservation efforts protect over 260 species.
DON’T MISS Explore the high-altitude ice cave at 3,400 metres (11,154ft), then take in panoramic views from the Belvédère walkway
