Les Deux Alpes stands out as one of the most accessible and snow-sure high-altitude resorts in the French Alps, offering exceptional value for money without compromising on terrain quality or infrastructure. Known for its glacier skiing, diverse pistes, and strong freestyle scene, the resort is a favorite among intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders, as well as groups and families seeking reliable snow and affordable stays.

Snow Surety & Typical Conditions

Snow reliability is one of Les Deux Alpes’ strongest assets. With skiing from 1,300 m to 3,600 m, it boasts one of the largest skiable glaciers in Europe and offers one of the longest seasons in the French Alps—from late November through late April. In peak winter months, the resort receives an average of 5 to 6 meters of snowfall, especially on the upper slopes.

Thanks to its north-facing glacier, snow remains preserved longer during warm spells, and the wide-open upper runs often deliver excellent conditions when lower resorts suffer. In addition, over 200 snow cannons reinforce snow coverage across key areas, helping to maintain good conditions even at lower altitudes during dry periods.

Unlike many resorts, snow quality at the top of Les Deux Alpes is often better than at the bottom, making it ideal for early-season skiing and spring riding—especially for snowboarders looking for slush laps and park sessions.
