You've made up your mind – you want to come to Les 2 Alpes on your next holiday. But where to stay? Let us help you choose.

A former mountain pasture perched at an altitude of 1,650m, Les 2 Alpes is France's second oldest ski area after Chamonix and boasts the largest skiable glacier in Europe, as well as 225km of pistes. 

At the heart of the ski area sits the resort, but there are many more towns and villages in the area, all of them connected to the ski slopes thanks to a vast network of lifts.

As with any resort, the best place to stay depends on who you’re travelling with, what you like to do, and how deep your pockets are. Whether you're looking for a bit of luxury, chalets for large groups or apartments that are as close to the lifts as possible, you’ll find it all here.
