Les Deux Alpes, Mountain resort commune at 1655 meters in Isère, France.
Les Deux Alpes is a mountain resort commune situated on steep Alpine slopes and spread across different elevation zones. The area offers ski runs in winter, walking routes in summer, and housing for both year-round residents and seasonal visitors.
The area transformed from agricultural land into a contemporary ski resort and became an independent commune in 2017. This shift ended a long period of high-altitude farming and marked the beginning of its current role as a leisure destination.
The commune expresses Alpine life through seasonal celebrations and mountain cuisine that visitors encounter in local eateries and community gatherings. Building styles reveal practical adaptations to high-altitude living, with sturdy stone structures and wide-angled roofs designed to shed heavy snow.
Visitors can access roughly 47 ski lifts linking different elevation points to suit various skill levels. Direct transport from Grenoble airport and railway station makes arrival straightforward, and shuttle buses run between different zones.
The glacier area reaches roughly 3600 meters elevation and allows winter sports during summer months on natural snow cover. This feature makes the place one of the few locations where skiing and snowboarding remain possible in July and August.
