Les 2 Alpes, as the skiing region above the skiing village Les Deux Alpes is called, has quite a few kilometres of slopes if you consider how compact the area actually is. Around a number of large rocky peaks, the slopes meander down in a long line. Due to the snow guarantee and the convenient village, this area has been quite popular for years.
Les 2 Alpes boasts an enormous difference in altitude and a glacier, which makes the ski area extremely snow certain from early to late in the season. The peak is at 3,560 metres, making it the highest lift-supported slope in the country. There are therefore quite a few snow-sure descent meters to make, one of the strengths of Les 2 Alpes. On the east side of the col, where the village of Les Deux Alpes is located, the skiing region runs in a straight line up to the glacier.
Due to this straightforward location, the skiing region is not very interesting for ski vacationers that like to ski tours and you quickly have the idea that you have seen the whole region. You will find here simple flat slopes to very challenging black slopes. The west side of Les 2 Alpes is a lot more charming and that is not only because of the sun that shines more here. The slopes are also easier.
