Les 2 Alpes - quick review

Seems to be a real marmite resort. Some love it, some hate it. Me, I quite like it.

Pros
High resort and fairly snow sure. Lovely beginners slopes next to resort. Some lovely long gentle runs on the glacier. Something for everyone - lots of blues and reds for intermediates and some nice black runs for the more advanced. Good parks (so I am told). Some decent nightlife. Inexpensive (as ski resorts go). Relatively short transfer to get there. Ski both sides of the resort - nice smaller mountain on the opposite side to the main mountain.

Cons
Runs back to resort are not good (although there's a new red been put in recently) - a crowded, narrow road or a black run. Some of the runs get crowded - there seem to be a couple of bottle necks. The pistes have a strange layout - they do not fan out from the resort like in many resorts, they extend backwards in a "line" and it seems that you have to spend a long time in a lift before you start doing any skiing. Resort rather string-out along a road, so there doesn't appear to be a resort centre. The long easy blues are at the top of the mountain. Not as big a resort piste-km wise as they would have you believe.

I'll agree with that

Glacier is good for summer skiing

But full of race teams in summer holidays?

Pretty spot on there. The Demoiselles green "road" is notoriously horrid, great for the beginners to say they skiied back in to resort, but it's a nightmare to get down...crowded, narrow, not fun

Pretty much what I have heard first hand, and why I haven't been there or plan to go either.

Poor old L2A does get such a bad press just because of Demoiselles.
Pity really - quite a lot to offer for all levels of skier.

You don't have to use that green - several quite gentlemanly blacks and a new red back down and always one of the lifts.

Oh dear having now read lots of reviews, have I made the wrong choice in going to Les Deus Alpes ????
First family ski holiday......
