Les 2 Alpes' mountain is great for beginners because it has a reverse gradient. You get to ski/board right at the top which beginners don't necessarily get to do. As a beginner skier or an unsure boarder, you can't go all the way to the bottom, but a gondola ride down can be quite welcome after a long hard day's riding. Les Deux Alpes is purpose built and lacks character, but there are some good restaurants and bars. I especially recommend the Blue Salmon for good food and friendly service.

No matter where your accomodation is you are never far from the slopes. Snowsure until late in the season and extraordinarily sunny. Plenty to keep all levels busy for a week and the free nursery lifts (5 free button lifts) close to the town are fantastic and a great saving. The ski schools are professional with a high standard. We stayed in self catering accomodation which was good and in the centre of town. Cannot vouch for the apres ski as we were in bed shattered by midnight most nights. We intend to go back in January 2010
Review by Frederik Olesen from Copenhagen on Thursday Dec 17th. Visited Les Deux Alpes in march 2009 as family
Les Deux Alpes is one of the most snow-sure resorts in France thanks to the vast ski areas above 3000 metres. Those in search of first time off piste should try the slopes serviced by La Fée chair lift and for the experts take the link over to the off-piste resort of La Grave and ski some of the most spectacular terrain in Europe at nearly 3700 metres. For an end of day challenge, try the snow sure Valentine black run back into the resort. Les Deux Alpes has an impressive variety of bars and clubs to suit everybody. For live après-ski music try Smokey Joes or the Umbrella Bar at the bottom of the slopes. For international food and a fun bar try Smithies and for late night dancing head t
Review by Kernsey from Dublin on Friday Oct 16th. Visited Les Deux Alpes in april 2009 as couple
Sfeervol en uitgestrekt skigebied, zeker voor beginners. In het dal veel groene en blauwe pistes, en op de gletsjer (2600-3600m) ook veel brede, blauwe en rode pistes. Daartussenin een aantal zwarte pistes. Veel skiliften, weinig wachttijden. Erg zonnig en sneeuwzeker: op de gletsjer ligt eeuwige sneeuw en in het dal (1650-2100m) zijn sneeuwkanonnen. Snowpark is erg leuk, ook voor de niet al te ervaren skier of boarder: boardercross, springschans, half-pipes. Voor de ervaren skiers is het gebied wellicht iets aan de kleine kant en zijn er weinig rode of zwarte pistes, maar er zijn veel goede off-piste mogelijkheden.

We really enjoyed our trip to Les Deux Alpes the second week of March. This is a very good high resort for intermediate and good skiers with fantastic snow and the largest glacier in Europe (3568m). If you like the off-piste skiing don't miss the legendary La Grave. The atmosphere in the resort is great with a real holiday feel. Our residence, Eperon 2, is in a superb location with excellent facilities only 100 metres from the departure of the Jandri Express cable car. We had a fabulous holiday in Les Deux Alpes.
