Glacier skiing in Les 2 Alpes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to their glacier at 3200m, only a 30 minute cable car ride from the resort via the Jandri Express, Les 2 Alpes<\/a> hosts 1500 skiers and snowboarders each day in summer.<\/p>\n

There are 16 lifts open in summer (compared with 48 in winter) with 90 hectares of slopes, 4 blue runs, 2 green runs and 2 red runs.<\/p>\n

Superb snowpark<\/strong><\/p>\n

40% of skiers and boarders who visit the resort come for its famous snowpark to practice their freestyle skills.<\/p>\n

The park has two halfpipes, served by two lifts, as well as hips, rails, kickers and an air bag. \u00a0There’s a team of nine working in the park each day to keep it in shape.<\/p>\n

There are DJs, snowboard testing and events throughout the summer. \u00a0The most famous event is the ‘Kumi Yama’ from 4-6 July – which pulls in hundreds of pro and amateur riders for three days.<\/p>\n

Good value lift tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instruction and ski hire are both available. \u00a0Lift tickets cost EUR37.50 for adults for a full day (the glacier opens at 7am until 12.30pm), or a half day ticket costs EUR30 (for a 9.30am start).<\/p>\n

That half day ticket also includes access to the lifts for an afternoon of mountain biking – another massively popular activity in Les 2 Alpes in summer.<\/p>\n
