Les Deux Alpes – the inside scoop
Located on the edge of the Ecrins national park in France, Les Deux Alpes is a popular ski resort, full of character with something for everyone. As well as skiing, it offers a great choice of activities in the summer months and easy access to Grenoble airport, making it an excellent choice of location for a second home or investment property.
Overview of Les Deux Alpes
The resort of Les Deux Alpes is best known for reliable snow conditions and diverse terrain when it comes to skiing - as well as one of Europe’s largest skiable glaciers (Glacier du Mont de Lans), which makes for reliable snow all season.
Situated at 1,650m above sea level, it’s sometimes referred to as an upside-down resort. Unusually, you’ll find some of the easiest slopes at the top of the mountain, with more challenging runs lower down.
An excellent variety of slopes makes it a great choice for mixed groups, offering runs suitable for everyone from beginners to experts.
Families in Les Deux Alpes
Whilst it offers a vibrant apres ski scene, Les Deux Alpes might be a resort most appealing to families. The resort was designed with easy access in mind, and excellent transport links and amenities are right in the middle of the accommodation area, making things easier for those travelling with small children.
Summer in Les Deux Alpes
As with many Alpine resorts, Les Deux Alpes offers just as much to summer visitors as it does to ski-tourists. Some of the most popular summer activities on offer include mountain-biking, hiking and white-water rafting, but those with less of a taste for adventure can also enjoy the stunning views, luxury spas and delicious local restaurants of the town.
