About Les Deux Alpes
Les Deux Alpes sits at 1,650 m in Isère, and its lifts climb to 3,600 m over roughly 220 km of pisted runs. It is France's second-oldest ski resort after Chamonix. Our homes are packed into the resort itself, within about a kilometre of each other, and free ski buses run around the resort. Almost all are one-bedroom apartments for about four, with only a small minority having a pool or a sauna and hardly any a garden. The summer ski area on the Girose and Mont de Lans glaciers opens between June and September, and mountain bikers ride the Jandri Express gondola up towards the glacier. Mont-de-Lans and Vénosc, the base villages, lie in the deep valleys to the north and south. For evenings there are bars, including one with mostly British staff that stays open until 2 am.
