Les Deux Alpes
About the area
Les Deux Alpes in the French Southern Alps has around 108 km of marked pistes, and the balance is clearly tilted towards easier skiing: 20 km green, 63 km blue, 17 km red and only 8 km black. With 76% of the terrain green or blue (83 km) and 63 short easy runs starting next to a lift base, it works well for beginners and for families; eight magic carpets cover first turns. Experts get less: black, expert and freeride terrain is just 7%, and the longest vertical on a single run is 678 m.
The area runs from 1,284 m up to 3,511 m, including glacier skiing, so snow cover at altitude is reliable. There are 46 lifts, among them 13 chairlifts, 5 gondolas or cable cars and 3 funiculars — the gondolas let small children ride without chairlift loading. The longest run measures 2,769 m.
