Ski Tour of the Vallee Blanche sector

Col d'Ornon Ride Review
If you’re after a shorter less committing bike ride than the infamous 21 bends up to Alpe D’Huez, the Col D’Ornon is a great option from the same starting point. The ride is easily done in less than two hours and there are certainly no compromises on the scenery!

2 Alpes Family Activity Card Review
And it’s official – summer has finally arrived, with the traditional wall to wall sunshine and temperatures allowing hitherto deep-frozen ticket sales executives actually to shed the official jacket for most of the day. Pity there’s less than two weeks of the season left, but that’s all the more reason to get out there and make the best of it. Though I’d appreciate it if you could all spread yourselves around the available ticket offices a bit – I barely had time to so much as look at the crossword today, outrageous.
Summer Ski Race Training on the Glacier in 2 Alpes
For the second part of my summer training I moved from Val D’Isere to Les Deux Alpes. The glacier here had surprisingly good snow conditions considering the recent hot temperatures and with the snow freezing overnight I managed to do five great days of training.
Mountain of Hell 2016
The Mountain of Hell MTB race is now in its 17th year and the 2016 edition saw 700 mountain bikers take part from no less than 18 different countries. For the first time this year there was a children's race with 23 competitors taking part, and 16 women also joined the ranks - I was one of them.

2 Alpes Via Ferrata Review
Having gone for the easiest of peasy via ferrata routes last week, this time we opted for scaring ourselves to death on something which at first glance looks like a sheer unscalable cliff. And probably would indeed be a sheer unscalable cliff had someone not nailed a load of bars and cables to it.
2 Alpes Summer 2011 Review
Well, as the chill wind of time blows up the kilt of destiny, and the short-sighted octopus of fate attempts to mount the bagpipes of eternity, I see we're coming to the end of the season. Cheers Humphrey.

Camping in Les 2 Alpes Review
So the sun is out, temperatures are soaring and high season is just around the corner, which means it must be time to go camping. It’s cheap, it’s outdoors and you can do it almost anywhere, what’s not to like? All right, it happens to be chucking with rain on this particular morning, but it’s not going to do that all holiday is it?
Ice Skating in Les 2 Alpes
Les Deux Alpes’ ice rink is bang in the middle of the resort, between the main square and the foot of the pistes, so there is no excuse not to have a go while you are here.
