Say hello to skiing paradise. Les Deux Alpes is a flagship ski resort in the heart of the Ecrins mountains offering some of the highest skiing in the French Alps. From the glacier funicular you can ski from 3,600m all the way to the village of Mont de Lans without taking a lift – that’s a vertical drop of almost 2,300m.
It’s also great for beginners as many of the easy slopes are up the mountain; intermediates will love the 156km of corduroy and there’s enough steep stuff and potential powder for those who like to shred. Les Deux Alpes also has a park for freestyle riders and a slopestyle section with rails, boxes and a selection of kickers for every level.
