Les Deux Alpes


Les Deux Alpes

Set high in the French Alps in the Oisans region, Les Deux Alpes is one of France’s most distinctive and dynamic ski resorts. What truly sets it apart is its unusual terrain profile: instead of getting steeper and more intimidating as you go higher, the slopes become more forgiving. This rare layout makes it one of the most beginner-friendly high-altitude resorts in Europe — without sacrificing challenge for advanced skiers.

Why Les Deux Alpes Stands Out

Les Deux Alpes isn’t just another Alpine resort. It’s defined by:

✔️ Easy skiing at high altitude

✔️ A true glacier experience

✔️ Strong freestyle credentials

✔️ Serious vertical drop

✔️ Reliable snow

✔️ Lively village energy

It’s a resort that genuinely caters to everyone — from nervous first-timers to seasoned freeriders — all within one uniquely designed mountain.

🏘️ Village & Atmosphere

Les Deux Alpes delivers one of the most energetic après-ski scenes in the French Alps, blending slope-side parties with late-night clubbing along its lively main avenue. Afternoons often start at the iconic Pano Bar, where DJs, mountain views and dancing in ski boots set the tone for the evening.

As night falls, popular bars like Smithy's Bar, The Red Frog and Windsor Pub offer a mix of live music, sports screenings and buzzing social atmospheres — ideal for groups and seasonaires. Notably, Apollo Snow Adventures partners with Smithy’s Bar, hosting events and bringing guests together for memorable après-ski nights.

📍 Fun Fact

Les Deux Alpes is home to the largest skiable glacier in Europe, meaning snow is virtually guaranteed, even in early and late season.
