A long-standing school ski favourite, Les Deux Alpes is among Europe’s highest winter sports resorts, possessing a relaxed and friendly cosmopolitan atmosphere, plus fabulous skiing and snowboarding opportunities for all levels. Set beneath staggering 4,000-metre peaks, the resort is sure to impress your students, who’ll be further spoilt by the range of evening activities available after a day on the slopes. 

Features

Great snow is guaranteed thanks to this resort’s high altitude. An ‘upside-down resort’, Les Deux Alpes has undergone a huge investment to offer lower level skiers better accessibility from the resort, with more blue and green runs trailing down to the village. Les Deux Alpes also gives beginners the unique opportunity to ski on a glacier once they’ve mastered the nursery slopes nearer to town, with gentler blues at altitude. 

Intermediates have the choice of mid-level reds and a sweeping 12km blue to build their stamina on, while your most experienced skiers can show off their skills on the range of blacks that lead to the villages. Not for the faint-hearted are the ‘Super Diable’, a long steep black run, a unique snow-park and a half-pipe. For anyone with jelly legs, there’s an easy green or the option to take a cable-car at the end of the day.
