The snowsure, varied slopes of Les Deux Alpes cover several peaks as you climb ever-higher towards the highest skiable glacier in Europe at an impressive 3570m. It’s a tall ski area, mostly above the tree line with plenty of off-piste possibilities, including the ominously named 'La Grave' area. There are several terrain parks making it a leading destination for freestyle skiers and boarders.

Beginners start right outside our very own Hotel Aalborg then quickly progress to the glacier slopes with their stunning views (don't forget your camera). Intermediates can spend their days cruising the mass of blues and reds, or for a change, head to a nearby ski area on a Neilson ski away day. 

Take a ride up the Jandri Express lift and visit the glacier. The views alone worth the trip, but the ice carvings in the grotto are simply stunning. 

Ice skating on the resort rink. It's free with your lift pass, so swap your skis and boards for blades. Will you be a Bambi on ice or Torvill and Dean?
