Les 2 Alpes with the family
A family ski route
If you’re looking for an area with easy runs, well suited to beginners or to skiing with children, then go for the Crêtes sector. The blue runs in this sector are easy to access, with plenty of ski lifts going there. A covered magic carpet has even been installed so beginner skiers can stay sheltered.
The ice cave and the Belvédère des Écrins
At Les 2 Alpes, it’s worth knowing that the easiest runs are at the top of the ski area, in what’s known as the glacier zone. That’s a fairly unusual setup for a ski area. As a bonus, skiing in the glacier sector can be a chance to discover with your kids:
the ice cave, famous for its sculptures — dinosaurs, sea creatures and more — carved into the ice;
the Belvédère des Écrins, this walkway into the void at 3,400 m offering a 360° panorama over the surrounding mountains.
To get there, simply hop on the funicular built under the ice. Be careful, however, once you’re at altitude: at 3,600 m the air is thinner and intense effort becomes harder. If you feel the need, drop down a bit in altitude to regain your full capacities.
