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

Les 2 Alpes (Alpes du Nord) - A destination that's both relaxing and sporting, with a base camp for mountain biking, hiking, trail running, cycling and pro skiing, Les 2 Alpes guarantees an incredible and unexpected summer holiday. Since the 1970s, the resort has developed into a summer tourist destination, and today the summer season accounts for almost 25% of Les 2 Alpes' overall business. The resort is one of the oldest and most developed in France.

Val d'Isère (Northern Alps) - A world-renowned ski destination with more than 300 km of pistes, this resort is a favourite with winter sports fans. And when you think of guaranteed snow, Val d'Isère springs to mind, not least because of the altitude, the different exposures and the top-class snow guns that cover the slopes. 

While most ski resorts are preparing to gradually close their doors, a handful of them, mainly the highest in altitude and therefore with the most snow, are staying open until May.
