Combine Les Deux Alpes main assets – guaranteed snow cover, long cruisy runs – with 200km of pistes served by 40 lifts, and you should have a near perfect resort.
The Schrahe report by a German cartographer on the extent of resort ski areas gives Les Deux Alpes a more modest 134km – and even that feels on the high side.
For further Les Deux Alpes inspiration, see our guides to the resort's best accommodation, restaurants and après ski.
A 18-pylon gondola between the resorts would create a giant three-resort area (Les Deux Alpes is already linked to La Grave) with three glaciers.
This is good for beginners, who even during their first week on skis or board get to see (or even ski) much more terrain than in a conventional ski area.
