So what's it like?
Varied high mountain pistes with lively and varied nightlife
Les Deux Alpes ski resort ranks amongst the highest in Europe with a good mix of ski slopes suitable for all levels. There is an excellent ski school for beginners and for the more advanced there is some exhilarating off-piste; it is well worth hiring a guide for a trip to the off-piste mecca, La Grave. Off the slopes Les Deux Alpes has a lively atmosphere, an excellent variety of shops, an outdoor pool and ice rink and a myriad of lively bars and restaurants.
