Eric Bouchet, Director of the Les 2 Alpes Tourist Office, gave us an interview just before the start of the summer season.

The new Jandri 3S cable car, which will rise from Les 2 Alpes at 1650 m to 3200 m, will be operational in December 2024. With just a few months to go before the inauguration of this new lift, the only one of its kind in France, we take a look at the current situation.

Trail enthusiasts and lovers of outdoor running can look forward to the forthcoming events organised by the Les 2 Alpes Trail association.

Les 2 Alpes is becoming an increasingly popular destination for trail enthusiasts.

The 6000D, an iconic trail event that has been a fixture in runners' calendars for over 30 years, returns this summer with four exciting new features.

For its first project in the mountains, the Giboire Group has teamed up with three local players (Société d'aménagement de la Savoie, Société des Trois Vallées and Sotarbat Promotion) to launch the Orso residence at La Tania.

Compagnie du Mont-Blanc (CMB), in partnership with Doppelmayr France, recently unveiled plans to rebuild the Grands Montets gondola lift, which was seriously damaged in 2018.

Located at the entrance to the Parc de la Vanoise, the Vallon de l'Iseran is preparing to welcome a major innovation for the 2024/25 season: a new-generation gondola lift that will benefit users and protect the environment.

Interface Tourism Insights has revealed its analysis of 2024 travel trends for the French. Between the search for outdoor activities and the discovery of picturesque villages, the mountains are increasingly favoured by holidaymakers.

It's a world first and a La Plagne exclusive. Two completely open cabins unlike any other have been incorporated into the new Glacier gondola line, which reaches the new Live 3000 summit at an altitude of 3,080 m. 

The Director of Méribel Tourisme talked to us about the winter of 2023-2024.

In Méribel, the current 6-seater chairlift at Côte Brune will be replaced in December 2025 by a modern 10-seater gondola lift.

Which countries do the French choose for their snow holidays? While France is logically the most popular destination, Switzerland comes second.

According to recent figures from the Centre de recherche pour l'étude et l'observation des conditions de vie (Crédoc), only 9 % of French people go on winter holidays in the mountains.

According to a study carried out by Interhome, Le Corbier is the ski resort that has received the most bookings in the last two years.

In the Alpes-Maritimes, the ski resort of Isola 2000 will be offering reductions of up to -50% on ski passes.

In French ski resorts, almost 50 % of homes are classified as F or G, meaning that they are considered to be energy passoires. This situation is more worrying than the national average, which is around 17 %.

The General Manager of La Plagne Tourist Office spoke to us about the winter of 2023-2024.

After the heavy snowfalls of the last few days in the Southern Alps, the ski resort of Isola 2000 (Alpes-Maritimes) is currently the one with the most snow in the whole of France. That's rare enough to merit a mention. And yet it is. Isola 2000 is well ahead of resorts in the Northern Alps, such as Val Thorens and Val d'Isère.
