Ice Cave
Walk through a 200m gallery to access a magical network of rooms carved out 20 metres below the surface of the snow, deep inside the glacier.
Les Perrons walk
A short walk to a beautiful viewpoint on the edge of the resort
This easy walk is suitable for all abilities and leads to fantastic views.
Start near the Diable chairlift and the new ticket office. Keeping the access track to the chairlift on your left, follow Rue du Ser Palor then Rue des Perrons. Head towards the end of the resort until you reach the bus parking area. From here you will pass the paragliders’ take-off area and walk into a forest.
Turn left at the junction to head towards the resort on a path that is just a bit higher than the one you arrived on. This would take you back to the start if you stayed on it, but you would miss out on the best views. Instead, take the path which leads up into the trees on the right after a hundred metres or so.
Keep going right to reach the Les Perrons viewpoint in about fifteen minutes. After relaxing and enjoying the views into the Veneon Valley, retrace your steps to pick up the path leading back to the resort. If you're feeling energetic, a longer alternative is to take the path which continues steeply up the ridge from Les Perrons, then turn left to return to Les Deux Alpes.
This adds around 20 minutes to the route and makes it a bit more strenuous.
