Welcome to Les Deux Alpes Ski Resort

  • Family-friendly ski resort for all abilities 
  • High altitude and glacier skiing
  • Lively après scene and traditional French dining
Say "bonjour" to powder paradise. Les Deux Alpes in the Ecrins mountains offers some of the French Alps' highest ski slopes. Hop on the central funicular and ski non-stop from 3,600m on the glacier down to Mont de Lans – a vertical drop of 2,300m!
A Les Deux Alpes ski holiday is ideal for beginners, with many of the easy slopes situated high on the mountain. Intermediates will enjoy the 200km of smooth, cruisy corduroy, and there’s plenty of challenging runs and powder opportunities for the more experienced skiers. For the freestyle enthusiasts, Les Deux Alpes’ freestyle park and slopestyle area offers rails, boxes, and kickers.

Best time to ski in Les Deux Alpes

Les Deux Alpes ski resort is fantastic for peak-season fun. Whether you’re skiing at Christmas, during the February holidays, or at Easter, the top-notch lift system means queues are not such an issue here. If you can travel outside of the main holidays, make the most of peaceful slopes in early January. And if you like a good ol’ rave in the mountains, don’t miss après sundowners at the Snow Fest music festival in March.

Snow Conditions in Les Deux Alpes

The main ski season runs from mid-December to mid-April, but look at booking a Les Deux Alpes ski holiday mid-February onwards for the best powder. January tends to be cold, dry and sunny – thermal underwear is a must – and you’ll have plenty of space on quieter pistes. This high-altitude French resort is also good for April getaways and warmer springtime skiing. With slopes facing every point of the compass and glacier runs high up, there are always snowy pistes ready to explore.
