The resort will remain open until May 2, 2027, before switching the following day to a spring offer. Thanks to the altitude sectors, the skiing should continue until early July, which is seven months of uninterrupted skiing announced between late November and the summer.
At the heart of this new organization: the Jandri. The cable car allows you to reach 3,200 meters in less than twenty minutes and will operate continuously from November 28 to August 29, 2027. Skiers in the winter, then pedestrians and cyclists must therefore take turns throughout the months.
Skiing at 3,600 meters, then cycling
This shift towards a new model every twelve months does not mean the disappearance of skiing as a central product. With a peak area at 3,600 meters, Les 2 Alpes, on the contrary, continues to heavily rely on altitude.
But spring must now become its own season. Starting May 3rd, hiking, trail running, mountain biking and other outdoor activities will gradually take over the areas cleared of snow.
The launch of winter will already give an insight into this desire to expand the range of experiences. Among the new features is a nighttime outing called «On the Trail of the Wolf». Wearing snowshoes and a head mask, participants will set out with the Guide Office to search for clues of the animal’s presence and to set up photographic traps, including infrared goggles.
At Vallée Blanche, a change of equipment: the E-Trott-Rider, electric scooters equipped with wide tires, will allow you to ride directly on the snow.
The skating rink will also move away from the simple track tour with the arrival of self-propelled skates on ice, the Ice Gliders, and even of pétanque games… on ice.
A bracelet to find lost children
The new features will also be more discreet. With each children’s pass, the resort announces the free distribution of a bracelet equipped with a QR code. In the event of separation, the person who finds the child can scan the code to trigger an alert to the parents and facilitate their location.

On the slopes, the Ski Safe approach will be strengthened with a team of about ten piste rescuers specifically mobilized to prevent and manage traffic, supported by the 77 pisteurs at the resort.
As for the restaurant, Chalet Mounier will now open Le 1879 – La Table des Mounier to the public outside the hotel, taking this historic address out of the exclusive circle of its residents.
The 80th anniversary celebrated in December
This season will also mark an anniversary. On December 22, 2026, Les 2 Alpes will celebrate its 80th anniversary at the foot of the slopes. Period costumes, testimonies from pioneers, and a light show are intended to trace the path traveled since 1946.
Before that, the Rise Festival will bring together more than 7,000 British festivalgoers from December 5 to 11. Then come the Tout Schuss Cup on January 9 and 10 and the Lumières de la Muzelle on January 16, with nearly 2,000 runners expected for this nighttime trail starting from Vallée Blanche at 2,100 meters.
Thus, a winter that will begin at the end of November, but which is now part of a much longer calendar: at Les 2 Alpes, the transition between the ski season and the summer season is becoming increasingly blurred.
