Les Deux Alpes, Ski resort and free flight site in Oisans, France

Les Deux Alpes is a ski resort in the Isère department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, built on a north-south plateau at 1,650 m between the alps of Mont-de-Lans and Vénosc. It stretches over three kilometres along the avenue de la Muzelle, with chalets at both ends and a commercial centre served by cable cars. Lifts rise to 3,600 m on the Girose and Mont-de-Lans glaciers.

The first lift infrastructure was built in the early 1950s, opening the valley to skiers from outside the region. Over the following decades, the area expanded through the construction of additional lifts and access routes to the higher glacier sections.

The name refers to the two alpine pastures, or alpes, of Mont-de-Lans and Vénosc, whose summer grazing hamlets became the resort; the Alpe de Vénosc was inhabited year-round until the winter of 1905. The station stretches over three kilometres along the avenue de la Muzelle, with chalets at both ends and a commercial centre of bars, restaurants and shops running south to the place de Vénosc.

The resort has 100 marked runs, and the lower slopes down to the village are steeper than the wide glacier runs above, so less advanced skiers can take a gondola down or follow a gentle track along the access road. The only road access is the D213, branching off the D1091 near the Chambon dam; a gondola links the resort to Vénosc in about ten minutes.

The Jandri 3S lift, in service since the 2024/25 season, cut the climb from the village to the glacier from 40 to 17 minutes and doubled capacity to 3,000 skiers per hour. From the top station at the Dôme de la Lauze, advanced skiers can walk or, at times, be towed by a Snowcat to reach La Grave.
