Les 2 Alpes
Les 2 Alpes stands out with one of Europe's largest skiable glaciers, reaching an impressive altitude of 3,600 meters. This dynamic resort offers 200 kilometers of marked runs, with a remarkable vertical drop of 2,300 meters from glacier to village. The unique layout of the mountain means that many blue runs are located at higher altitudes, allowing beginners and intermediates to experience high-mountain skiing while enjoying spectacular views of the Ecrins National Park.
