Residences Les Deux Alpes 1800, Les 2 Alpes

Advantages: Great for all abilities
Disadvantages: none

...I have been going skiing for 6 years, earlier this year for the first time I went to les deux alpes. Wow, it is the best skiing resort I have ever been to! There are loads of different pistes for all abilities and even a snow park. You never have to queue for more than a minute at chair lifts etc because there is so many. As it’s a glacier you can ski all year round. The resort has many other facilities like bowling, swimming etc. There are lots of shops, pubs etc and plenty of chalets and hotels. There is a lot of nightlife if you want it. I would recommend les deux alpes to anyone as it is a top resort!... Read review

Advantages: Huge Ski Area-Huge bar area!
Disadvantages: French Airports!

...One of teh most famous resorts in the Alps, Les Arcs is a purpose built resort on 3 levels. The 3 Villages at 1600, 1800 and 2000 have individual qualities which make them unique. 1600- near to bars and shops, obviously lower down the mountain , but more traditional than the other 2. Also nearer to the beginner slopes which makes it ideal for the family. 1800- Party Party Party! Bars and clubs, floodlit skiing. 2000- the highest and the best snow, purpose built this is a modern place with ample bars and restaurants, many ski in /ski out residences. Having stayed in all 3 places over the past few years all offer fantastic skiing and link brilliantly around the mountains and with the New link lift accross to La Plagne making this the biggest ski area in the alps (now bigger than 3 valleys) Always seems snow sure , with a variety...

Advantages: Large and varied terrain.
Disadvantages: The road. The aspect of the slope means icy afternoons.

...Les Deux Alpes is a purpose built ski resort, it does not seem to have been planned at all. A large road runs straight through the middle of town, which seems to have sprawled alongside. Many of the buildings have obviously attempted to create a rustic, mountain feel, but for me the road interrupts feelings of charm. But what about the terrain. A rapid and efficient lift system services a wide and varied landscape, that is suitable for all abilties. The glacier provides for a very long season at the top, and links to other resorts are also possible. One thing that should be mentioned however, is the route back down to the village, in some sections it is steep and often icy. There is also a "beginner" trail down but this could not be recommended for riders, it is narrow and has flat spots. All in all, a good skiing experience... Read review
