The above is just one opinion given to this resort, which is slightly cruel, but the road so meanly layed between the vallies holds the bars and clubs to one of the best nightlifes in the Alpes!! so forgiven.
Just 1 hour transfer from Grenoble it is accessible and versatile for most levels of skiers.
Terrain is varied, with great long runs from the glacier for crusing, mogul fields, chalenging steeps and a difficult red pieste on return to the resort which can leave grown men quivering. Beginers advise to get the Eggs down. (Most of the begginers runs are at the top of mountain, a wrong way round?!?) But for snowboarding i have had some of the best powder days in my life there. If you know the spots, the off pieste is supplied by lifts and is varied as fields of powder to picking a line down a cliff face. And with La Grave just over the hill there is alot of fun is to be had.
The lifts can bottle neck and during the Febuary half term queing can be very fustrating. But the view from the glacier is worth the wait, and unless you stack it, its possible to ski from the top to the bottom of the mountian in one go. A rewarding ride home.
Apres ski- versatile as night sking, climbing and the most dangerous sport of all, bum boarding.
The bars are brilliant, quiet funky french bars to riding a bucking broncho. And the local night club kindly supplies a free bus ride to it.
Good range of restaurants with cracking pizza and the usual cheese overdose dishes.
2alpes is affordable fun, with lots of varied accomodation and cheap flights. The beer money is up to you!!
