Named the E-Trott-Rider, this activity swaps skis for all-terrain electric scooters, equipped with oversized tyres to grip the snow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-1024x674.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-1024x674.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-450x296.jpg 450w, https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-1200x790.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image.jpg 1436w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Photo \u00a9 Les 2 Alpes)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be tested in the Vall\u00e9e Blanche sector, it promises unprecedented driving thrills on the white carpet. Accessible from age 14 and fully supervised by qualified instructors, it adds to the range of off-beat experiences that are the resort's trademark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New-generation drones and snow groomers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While no new ski lift is announced this season, the ski resort is instead focusing on technological innovation. Les 2 Alpes is now relying on surveys carried out by drones equipped with LiDAR sensors, capable of accurately measuring the thickness of the snowpack across the entire resort. This provides a detailed mapping of snow distribution and allows the condition of the slopes to be monitored in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/les-2-alpes-resort-ski-area-ski-passes-activities-winter-guide-2025\/\">Les 2 Alpes: resort, ski area, ski passes, activities\u2026 The winter guide\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resort has also designed its own snow-depth measurement system, an in-house tool that will be rolled out this winter across the entire fleet of piste bashers. Bringing together snow production, grooming and depth monitoring within a single platform, this innovation aims to manage the ski area with greater precision, efficiency and responsiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New tables and one star more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding gastronomy and accommodation, several new experiences await food lovers. The legendary 4-star hotel institution, Le <em>1879 \u2013 La Table des Mounier<\/em>, opens its historic dining room this season to everyone, including outside guests, for a culinary journey focused on sharing. A nod to the construction of the family's very first refuge in 1879.

Finally, to recharge your batteries, the resort is welcoming a brand new holistic sanctuary,<em> Terres Alm\u0101<\/em>, designed by Julie Chalvin, featuring therapeutic massages, maderotherapy and coaching on the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And for the spring, a giant airbag, a French first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One last new attraction awaits thrill-seekers, but you will have to wait until the spring. From May onwards, at the foot of the Jandri, the Les 2 Alpes Airpark will roll out France's first giant big airbag: a 53-metre cushion and 10- and 16-metre ramps with a synthetic run-up, designed to welcome international freestylers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From May to November, Les 2 Alpes will thus become the country's only high-level airbag training spot, which can be used even without snow.
