Les
2 Alpes provides over 200 km of pistes, with lifts
up to 3 600 m linking the resort to La Grave, one
of the best off-piste skiing areas in the alps –
so good that people come all the way from the USA
(with the fattest skis you’ve ever seen) just
to experience it.
Perhaps with a mountain guide you will be tempted
by ice climbing or by the off-piste runs in the Vallon
de la Meije or by the descent to Saint Christophe
en Oisans by the Vallon de la Selle… …
or why not climb in snow-shoes with an « accompagnateur »
for a picnic at Lac Le Lauvitel and, with a bit of
luck, you will see some chamois or even a bouquetin.
Imagine after a hard day’s
skiing, you leave your equipment in a secure ski locker,
and relax for a while in a bar in Les 2 Alpes. When you
begin to find the resort a little too much, leave all that
behind you and take the télécabine down to
the traditional village of Venosc. 8 minutes by car and
you will be back “at home” in the front of the
fire at Gîte Le Lauvitel.
Ski and board hire
There are two equipment shops at the Place de Venosc between
the top of the Venosc télécabine and the ski
slopes :
Children
There are extensive facilities at Les 2 Alpes but one
of the delights of La Danchère is that we are surrounded
by level fields and there is plenty of space for children
to play in the snow.
