Increasingly popular because of its glacier which guarantees skiing even at bad times, Les Deux Alpes in the heart of the Isère, has recently extended its pistes and number of ski lifts. Although it caters to a young dynamic market, its wide pistes and accessibility make it popular with older and average skiers too.
October opening! The glacier is open for skiing in the last week of October every year.
The glacier also allows for summer skiing. Although you can only ski in the morning, the glacier here offers the most extensive summer skiing in Europe.
Les Deux Alpes has 225 km of pisted slopes, there are now 51 ski lifts, and a Slide zone.
Good news! Swiss Airlines does not charge its passengers for ski and snowboard equipment transport. One pair of ski (including ski boots and sticks) or one snowboard (including boots) per passanger is included in the ticket price (unless it exceeds the free baggage allowance). In 2009 at the annual Guardian and Observer Travel Awards ceremony, Swiss won the "Best short haul airline" award.
