Try Les Deux Alpes Ski Resort

Beginners and those who want to play in the snow year round flock to Les Deux Alpes ski resort in the French Alps. The world's fastest express gondola takes adventurers well past 6,500 feet to glacier snow that persists in every season. This area was at the forefront of the industry following World War II, and has continued to break ground ever since. Serious aficionados of the sport appreciate this commitment and support the resort holiday after holiday.

Many people say that Les Deux Alpes is the best place in France to learn snow sports. Despite its altitude and cutting-edge reputation, it contains scores of gentle, groomed slopes for novices and top-notch snowboard facilities, including a snow park, boarder cross and halfpipe. This would be a great place to take lessons, which are best reserved in advance for the hectic holiday season.

Summer and Winter at Les Deux Alpes Ski Resort

While the uppermost runs are open in summer, winter sports here offer some of the most varied opportunities in Europe. If you've vowed to try something new this trip, choose from river ruisseling and frozen waterfall climbing. Both involve navigating over ice with crampons, or you can lace up some skates and glide over it instead at the village skating rink. One can also hire snowshoes, snow skates and Nordic equipment.

We offer convenient self-catering apartments at Les Deux Alpes, situated in the car-free zone of the resort, near an enormous apres-ski centre. You'll find extensive choices in dining, sightseeing and entertainment to fill your additional holiday hours. SkiFrance4Less books tours to 15 top French mountain destinations.
