RIDING
Skiing and snowboarding on the glacier, mountain biking or e-biking all around the resort, skate boarding in the resort and in the skate park…riding is everywhere in Les 2 Alpes!

Skiing and snowboarding
Les 2 Alpes has Europe’s largest skiable glacier. Skiers and snowboarders can ride every morning from 7am to 12.30pm, on 30km of slopes located between 3,200m and 3,600m. The glacier is accessible to all levels: there is a beginner area, many runs for intermediates and advanced riders as well as pro riders come in the summer to train in alpine skiing and freestyle in the snowpark.  

Freestyle for children: every week there is the option for children to get involved in Da Camp where they ride the snowpark every morning from 9am to 1pm and in the afternoon practice their tricks on the trampoline. They also get involved in other afternoon activities including mountain boarding, beach volleyball and rafting, as well as having time for video analysis of their tricks.
