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.

The pretty village of La Grave, notorious for its challenging off-piste terrain is about 30 minutes away by road - ride the old gondola for some of the most spectacular mountain views in the region.

Dining in Mont de Lans
There's nowhere to eat in the evening in Mont de Lans, which provides an excuse for a large lunch on the mountain. The Diable au Cœur at the top of the new Diable chair is owned by the same family as the Chalet Hotel Mounier and is reckoned to be the best lunch on the hill. Elsewhere, Le Kanata does 'moules frites' and a beer for a bargain price, and the restaurant on the glacier offers takeaway, self-service and a proper restaurant, all with fabulous views.
