On a blisteringly hot day, or even when it's raining, heading down the river in the Veneon Valley below Les 2 Alpes is a great way to spend a few hours, or most of the day depending on your plans.
Via Ferrata in Les 2 Alpes
Les 2 Alpes in summer is a veritable hot bed of things to do. I'm here for a few days trying out some of the things you can do on your summer visit here, and today it was the turn of the Via Ferrata.
Ski Tour of the Vallee Blanche sector
Do something a little different and ride the Vallée Blanche sector on the other side of Les 2 Alpes. Lot’s of people never ski this area which usually means it’s nice and quiet over there.

Tour de France time rolls around, and our roads are once again infested with loonies in lycra. Go Wiggo!

Birdwatching in Les 2 Alpes
Having worked as a beach lifeguard and surf, paddleboard, kayak and canoe instructor for around 10 years now, I am always being asked by inquisitive tourists at the beach “what's that bird over there?”
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.
Day trip skiing in La Grave
Skiing La Grave is something that every serious skier should do at least once in their lives.
2 Alpes Interseason Review
The wall to wall sunshine continues here in the Oisans, which is very welcome after a week's UK holiday in what appeared to be a howling north wind (and probably wasn't, but it definitely felt like being forcibly fast forwarded by about a month and a half). To be fair it only chucked rain for one day out of seven, and we did see a reasonable amount of sun as well, but not the warm cuddly sort you get here - more a kind of SunShine-Lite diet version with the best bits taken out and replaced with some sort of chemical imitation.

Les 2 Alpes Mountain Biking Review
Since the Mondial VTT was on this weekend, there proved to be lots of mountain biking and exploring to be had, so I made my way over from Chamonix for a few days to check out what was on offer.
2 Alpes Telecabin Retirement Review
So the summer season comes to an abrupt halt, and the iconic red eggs make a final return to their eggbox after over 50 years of service. RIP eggs. How I’ll miss having my teeth rattled out of their moorings going over that first pylon. Not.
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.
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?
