Mondial du Ski photo's - 2006

Photo's from the Mondial du ski in 2005

From 3200 - where the Mondial stalls are based. The glacier has retreated in recent years. The first télesiège is now 5 metres lower than in previous years

Queues build up at weekends. There is also a furnicular to get you to the top.

The view from the restaurant terrace

From the terrace, the main t-bar lift. The vast size of the glacier is clear to see.

At the top! The furnicular stops here.

From the other end, looking down towards the start of the glacier (summer ski area - ). The Mondial tents are visible to the right. www.2alpes-summer.com

Snowparc and Slide Zone - all 20 hectares of it

The snow parc and Slide Zone. The gradient of the slopes is clear in this photo.

There are plenty of opportunities for snow boarders to test their skills on well maintained pistes.

A panorama showing the snowparc and pistes for general skiing.

The Pistes on the glacier

The queues are not as big higher up.

The runs are not short and there is plenty of scope to have a good long ski.

On top of the glacier at Deux Alpes, the snow is dry and powdery.

The ski area is so big, that you are bound to find perfectly prepared pistes somewhere to glide down.

There is even a place to practice skiing on bumps.

There is a piste even higher than where the furnicular ends. Can get windy, but it's also quite quiet.
