Who said that the joys of skiing must stop with the arrival of beautiful days? Powder enthusiasts can fulfill a dream: slope ski without interruption until July in a French resort like no other! While almost all alpine resorts close their doors, here, winter extends and the festivities continue, much to the delight of enthusiasts ready to challenge the sun on summits still generously covered with snow.
Did you think that the ski season was coming to an end in France? Think again! While most alpine resorts have already put away their ski lifts, an extraordinary destination offers you the chance to ski without interruption until July. Discover this exceptional resort in Isère where, under the spring sun, snow sports go hand in hand with breathtaking panoramas and festive moments.
The last ski runs of the season… except here!
The bell has tolled for the legendary ski areas of Savoy like Val Thorens, Tignes, Val d’Isère, and Les Grands Montets. This weekend marks the end of a winter season that kicked off with a bang on November 23. We celebrate the closure on the slopes, under a blue sky, skis on our feet and smiles on our faces. But wait, there is one place where the curtain never truly falls: welcome to Les Deux-Alpes!
Les Deux-Alpes: the paradise of extended skiing
While most areas pack away their grooming machines, Les Deux-Alpes turns its lifts back on starting Monday, May 5. Head to the heights of the glacier where, aboard the brand new Jandri Express, skiers, mountain bikers, and hikers share the cabin to reach the summits. Between 2600 m and 3400 m in altitude (until May 28), then up to 3600 m (from May 29 to July 6), the mountain is yours!
While others are already dreaming of the beach, here the slopes remain snow-covered and the atmosphere electrifies all powder enthusiasts. The bridge at the Écrins lookout, suspended at 3400 meters, promises an incredible high-altitude thrill and breathtaking selfies. To swoosh down these unique slopes, count on €49.5 for an adult pass: at this price, it’s unlimited joy until the doors of summer.
Winter sports, summer included!
What makes Les Deux-Alpes uniquely charming is the joyful coexistence of activities. On the glacier, ski addicts find their favorite runs, while in the lush valleys, hikers descend in shorts and t-shirts – the perfect opportunity to taste all the flavors of the mountain!
Thanks to its generous altitude, the resort guarantees quality snow and a breathtaking panorama. Ski in the morning, relax on the terrace in the afternoon, and enjoy summer activities as soon as the snowpack melts: it’s hard to dream of a better escape that stands apart from any others.
A unique area for everyone, all season long
Unlike its larger Savoy counterparts that primarily reserve glacier openings in June and July for professional skiers, the Isère resort caters to the general public in May. Everyone finds their happiness, from families seeking thrills to enthusiasts eager to extend winter. In June and July, professionals take over for training, but the celebration primarily belongs to everyone who hasn’t yet said their last word on snow!
Still skiing, discovering differently
Les Deux-Alpes is not just about skiing. It’s also an ideal starting point to explore charming medieval towns, learn about tourism innovations, or participate in events that combine travel, the future, and artificial intelligence. Curious?
