Les Deux Alpes Reviews

Had a fantastic Christmas at the Hotel Amethyeste. Hans and all the staff were really hospitable, kind and welcoming. Skiing was great - fantastic conditions - only downside is that the choice was either green or black coming down from the mid-station - although loads of skiing at all levels are available higher up. On the plus side there are two lifts at the back of the hotel and you could ski back to the ski room. This is very convenient for families to be able to get back to our hotel easily. It was very enjoyable and would definitely go again.

A great resort for all types of skiers and snowboarders. The ski school was very friendly and fun and there’s Loads of variety in slopes, paths and pistes. This is a really good choice for families as it has lots of children’s facilities for all ages. Everything is in one place and I would certainly return and recommend it to anyone wanting excellent snow conditions. Our hotel the Aarlberg was superb, staff could not have been more helpful and happy. There are great views from the rooms onto the mountains and it is located in a quiet part of the village.

A good resort for beginners/intermediates and more experienced skiers alike. We stayed on the Route du Petit Plan in Chalet Les Lauzieres (capacity of 14 people) which was very convenient with a chair lift directly up to a green run into the main resort (also a good green run back with a recently opened bar on the way). As everyone says, it's a "backwards" resort with all the easier runs nearer the top. Best skiing is down to La Toura from the Glacier as there are some wonderful blues. The Glacier is mad and very windy but definitely worth going up there. The cable cars take about 30 mins to get you there so be prepared to stand in your ski boots for a while! I Would go back as it was lots of fun and some good skiing and boarding to be had.

Les Deux Alpes is a lively resort in the evenings if you access the right pubs/clubs. Smithy's is a good one, and a decent English breakfast can be had at the Red Frog or The Secret. The skiing is great for a beginner/intermediate with big wide blue runs, however for the more extreme skier it has little to offer with only a few blacks, but you can take the snow cat over the top to La Grave which offers approx. 90% off-piste runs, but you are advised to take a guide. The number of runs seem a little light and you can ski most of the resort in a couple of days. So be warned it is a little limited, but you can cover the blues with some speed ;-), The snowparks are pretty cool, and the kickers are huge, there are 2 boardercross courses, 1 easy and 1 not so. They can be ridden by anyone at any standard....hope this helps. if you go, enjoy - I did.

Great resort, great snow, lots of variation with runs and not too crowded on pistes. Gorgeous views from the top of the glacier. Lots of lovely restaurants and bars and local's very friendly.
