Ski pass prices in Les 2 Alpes

The Les 2 Alpes ski season runs from 2 December 2023 to 28 April 2024.

Early or late season skiing

Ski passes tend to be cheapest right at the beginning and end of the season, when snow cover is less guaranteed.

If you're considering coming then, it's a good idea to keep an eye on our Les 2 Alpes snow forecast for an up-to-date view of local conditions.
 

The best pass for you depends on the type of terrain you like to ski, the abilities of your group and how much of the resort you want to explore.

If you've been skiing before

The 'Ski Grand Domaine' pass is probably the lift pass for you. It gives you access to the entire resort, including:

• 225km of pistes
• 2,300m of vertical (the longest pisted descent in the world)
• the largest skiable glacier in Europe (3,600m)
• two days in neighbouring resort Alpe d'Huez, and one day in Serre Chevalier, Puy St Vincent, Montgenèvre or Sestrière - when you buy a Les 2 Alpes ski pass for six days or longer
• the swimming pool or ice rink each day - when you buy a Les 2 Alpes ski pass for two days or longer

Les 2 Alpes's slopes actually get easier the higher you go. So even if you're relatively new to the sport, you'll probably want this lift pass. 

Prices, offers, discounts and conditions are shown here as a guide only and may change. Further terms and conditions may apply.

If you don't want to ski every day

You can buy non-consecutive lift passes for one, five and 10 days.

You'll need to go to a lift pass office to buy a half-day pass. They're not available online.

If you're an intermediate skier who likes it a bit quieter

The 'Ski Petit Domaine - Vallée Blanche' is a one day pass only that you'll need to buy at a ski pass office in Les 2 Alpes.

It gives you access to a less-crowded, quieter area and costs €32.

If you're a beginner

You probably won't want to venture beyond the nursery slopes for the first couple of days if you've never skied or snowboarded. In Les 2 Alpes, there are five nursery slopes that are completely free to use.

Once you've found your legs, the 'Bas des pistes' lift pass is probably the pass for you.

It's a four hour pass that costs €23 and gives you access to 12 drag lifts at the base of the resort. In these early days, four hours is probably as much as you can handle before you'll want to stop for a vin chaud!

But if you're raring to go after that, you might want to look at a two or three day 'Ski grand domaine' pass.

These are our top tips for saving money on your ski pass.

• Come early or late in the season
• Buy a family pass
• Buy group tickets
• Book early
• Buy multiple days - you’ll get a much better day rate
• Choose a 'Vallée Blanche' pass over a 'Ski Grand Domaine' pass

If you're coming skiing for a week with two or more children over the age of five, you'll be able to save up to €80 when you buy a family ski pass.

Don’t forget to bring a passport or ID to the lift pass office to show how old you are. How much you pay depends on your ages.

Family lift pass prices in Les 2 Alpes

How much you pay depends on your ages. At Les 2 Alpes: 

• children are aged five to 12
• juniors are aged 13 to 18
• adults are aged 19 to 64
• seniors are aged 65 to 71
• children under five and seniors over 71 go free

A  family pack has to be composed of 1 or 2 adults (19 to 64 years old) and at least 2 children or juniors (see above for ages). 

NB: The offer is for 6 or 7 day passes, paid on one single payment.

For alternative combinations of family packs you can input this on the Les 2 Alpes lift pass site for costs.

You heard it right, you can ski for free in Les 2 Alpes... but only if you're under five years old or older than 71.

You'll still need to pay €2 for a hands-free card to get through the turnstiles, but this can be used on subsequent visits to Les 2 Alpes.

It's a good idea to take ID when you buy a hands-free card. You may be asked to prove your age, or your kids' age.

Whether you want to go snow-shoeing, climbing, or watch your little ones' first ski lesson, a pedestrian pass lets you go up without skis or a snowboard.

You can get a pedestrian pass for any of the following lifts in Les 2 Alpes:

• Glacier: Jandri Express II gondola, inclined lift, funicular
• La Toura: Jandri Express I gondola
• Crêtes or Diable: Belle Etoile hybrid lift, Village 1800 chairlift, Diable hybrid lift
• Vallée Blanche: Super Venosc gondola, Vallée Blanche hybrid lift
• La Côte: La Côte chairlift (way up only)
• Mont-de-Lans chairlift
• Venosc gondola 

NB. Dogs are not allowed on the ski lifts except for Venosc gondolas and Super Venosc gondolas.

If you wish to add the ice cave option to your one day pedestrian pass the price is €6 per adult or junior and €5 per child or senior. You will need to present a copy of your order confirmation on your smartphone or in printed version at the entrance to the ice cave. Make sure you download it because there's no network access up there.

You don't need a lift pass to access the cross-country skiing itineraries in Les 2 Alpes.

All you need is skis, poles and boots, which you can hire from most ski hire shops in resort.

If you're planning to spend more than a couple of weeks in Les 2 Alpes this winter, you've got a few options to save money on your lift journeys: 

• buy a season pass 
• buy a Freedom ski pass - 20 non-consecutive days that you can use whenever you want
• buy a half season pass - valid from February until the end of the ski season 

A Les 2 Alpes season pass costs roughly the equivalent of a three week ski pass, so it's excellent value if you're staying in the resort for a while. You pay a fixed price and then ride the lifts as often or as little as you like.

It also includes: 

• 10 days in Alpe d'Huez
• three days in Montgenevre, Puy St Vincent, Serre Chevalier or Sestriere
• a reduced fee to ski La Grave
• a discount on your First Tracks booking, access to the swimming pool and ice rink

To get the best price, you'll need to buy your season pass before the middle of November. Season pass prices nearly double after that date.

In Les 2 Alpes, you can buy passes to access the swimming pool, ice rink and ice cave.

There are also tickets for a few activities like First Tracks (opening the slopes with the 'pisteurs' in the morning) and a tour of the funicular railway that goes up to the glacier.

The prices on this page do not include insurance.

You’ll be given the option to add ski insurance when you buy your ski pass. This is provided by Assur'2 Alpes and normally costs a few euros a day. 

You don’t have to buy insurance from the lift company, but we can’t stress how important it is to have a snow sports policy in place before you come skiing or snowboarding in Les 2 Alpes.  

Hopefully you’ll never have an accident. But if you have to be helicoptered off the mountain, or spend any time in hospital in France, you could end up with a huge bill.
