Find Ski Chalets and Luxury Chalets in Les Deux Alpes
So what's Les Deux Alpes like?
Les Deux Alpes has the largest skiable glacier in Europe and is the second oldest ski resort in France, behind Chamonix. The "two Alps" in the name do not refer to the two mountains that the resort encompasses, but rather the two villages of Venosc and Mont De Lans that sit at either end of the north-south plateau on which the resort was built. A funicular railway tunnelled under the ice transports skiers and, in summer, tourists to 3450m to see the panoramic views of Mont Blanc, L'Alpe d'Huez and the Plateau de Vercors above Grenoble.
In terms of pistes the resort has been termed "upside-down", as the lower slopes down to the resort are steeper and more challenging than the higher ski areas, including the wide and forgiving glacier runs. Less advanced skiers either take a gondola down to the resort or follow a lengthy, gentle but narrow, track on the path of the access road. A wide area at the very bottom by the town is given over to nursery slopes. The resort of La Grave can be accessed from the very top lift at the Dome de la Lauze by either walking or at certain times by ski-tow behind a Snowcat. It is only recommended for advanced skiers under supervision of a qualified guide. [more from Wikipedia]
