If you thought skiing was only for winter, think again. Les 2 Alpes, in the southern French Alps, will be offering skiing all the way into July.
Their glacier will be open for skiers from Monday 05 May (when the winter season formally ‘closes’) to Sunday 06 July, meaning keen skiers and snowboarders can keep making turns this summer.
The Mountains Never Sleep
When the traditional winter season wraps up this weekend on Sunday 04 May, Les 2 Alpes will seamlessly transition into its spring-summer phase.
With skiable terrain ranging from 3600m to 2600m, the resort is able to deliver great snow conditions into the warmer months. Add to that their world class snowpark, and it’s a superb playground for freestyle skiers and snowboarders.
Faster access to the glacier
The big difference from last summer is that introduction of the new Jandri cable car, which opened in December 2024.
This transformative project is the largest single lift investment in the French Alps in over a decade. This state-of-the-art lift has cut the time from resort to glacier to just 20 minutes – less than half the time it used to take.
You can find out more about the new Jandri lift in Episode 232 of The Ski Podcast.
A Hub for Elite Training
If you do go skiing on the glacier, the chances are that you will see some of the world’s top athletes during your day.
Les 2 Alpes has become a vital training ground for national and international ski teams during May and June – months when few resorts are open in other locations around the world.
Some of the world’s top ski athletes have based themselves in Les 2 Alpes in the last few years, including French racers Alexis Pinturault, Adrien Théaux, Tessa Worley and Taina Barioz, as well as elite competitors from Italy, Spain, Canada, China and beyond.
Plan Your Summer Snow Getaway
Whether you’re an amateur skier looking to extend your season, a freestyler chasing big air in the snowpark, or simply someone drawn to the magic of the mountains, Les 2 Alpes delivers a one-of-a-kind summer experience.
And it’s not just skiing, the resort offers activities for everyone, from skiers to hikers, mountain bikers, runners, and families.
So, pack your sunscreen and your ski gear – because the slopes are waiting.
