Other Activities

If you fancy a change to skiing and snowboarding there are a host of alternative actives in and around Les Deux Alpes for you to enjoy.

Outdoor Activities

For getting around why not try dog sledging, snowmobiles, ice gliders, or 'Karts', as well as the more traditional toboggans and snowshoes.

Alternatively relax in the outdoor heated swimming pool situated next door to the man made ice rink entrance to which is free depending on the type of ski pass you have.

If you feel like ‘rising’ to the challenge why not try Parapente. Experience the thrill of flying in a paraglider, with a fully qualified instructor, taking off from an altitude of 7,200 feet and flying over the resort coming to land conveniently near the Red Frog bar which is most advantageous should feel a stiff drink is needed at that point.

If something out doors and a little less adventurous is in order then how about the Snow Cruise , taking in among other things a visit to the breath taking Grotte de Glace, or ice caves. Situated thirty meters underground in the Mont de Lans glacier containing spectacular ice sculptures in a magical setting

Follow the Inuit trail at the Kanata igloo village, in the Pied Moutet area, where you can even stay on and find out how it feels to spend a night in an igloo, complete with sleeping bag, dinner and breakfast!

Indoor Activities

There are two bowling centres in Les Deux Alpes for indoor fun and a new sports centre in currently under construction in the Mont de Lans end of the resort.

Those who are keen on health, fitness and beauty may like to visit the Tanking Centre, relax in the jacuzzi or have an invigorating sauna. The truly energetic can always play Squash at the Club Forme or bounce around on a trampoline there!

The Musée de la Montagne provides visitors with a wealth of natural history exhibits, including the flora, fauna and geology of the area. Virtual tours of the area are available from the CD room.

If being seated comfortably sounds enticing, as well as for those who find the small screen unexciting but fancy seeing a movie, the cinema 'Le Slalom' is situated in the centre of the resort.


Amongst the highlights of the season are the village Christmas party on the 24th of December, with the arrival of Father Christmas, fireworks, a torch-lit descent and mulled wine and the New Year's celebration, with more fireworks, another torchlight descent and, of course, plenty of mulled wine...
