Mont de Lans
A quiet small village below the resort and the gateway to the centre of 2 Alpes
Mont de Lans is the lowest part of the Deux Alpes ski area, only a short chairlift ride from the rest of the system and 5km from the main resort by road.
A sleepy village perched on a hillside below the resort of Les Deux Alpes, overlooking the Romanche valley, its traditional mountain architecture and way of life are celebrated in the commune Museé du Chasal Lento, from where you can enjoy a breathtaking view across the valley.
