Ski Holidays in Les Deux Alpes, Hotel & Ski Pass

Les Deux Alpes

Les Deux Alps, located in the French Alps, is one of the most popular resorts in France. Its name does not refer to there being two mountains that join in a single ski area, but to the fact of encompassing two populations: Vénosc and Mont-de-Lans.

The station is located on the Lauce glacier, the only one with the largest ski area in France, with 225 km distributed among 96 tracks. In addition, it is the second oldest ski resort in the country, after Chamonix.

Despite occupying a single mountain, it has a significant difference in altitude of 2,300 m, with long tracks. The altitude and the fact of having a glacier guarantee high quality snow, especially on the tracks that look to the north. The snow conditions in Les Deux Alpes are exceptional. Most tracks are above 2,000 m.
