From the first December snows to the last April ski runs, Les 2 Alpes<\/a> are rolling out a particularly packed calendar for the 2026-2027 winter. An electro festival, a night trail run, a derby stretching over 13 kilometres, the return of mountain biking and even stand-up comedy at over 3,000 metres will punctuate a season open until 2 May.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardly has the resort opened when music will take possession of the station. From 5 to 12 December<\/strong>, Rise Festival will return to Les 2 Alpes for a twelfth edition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 7,000 British festival-goers are expected for a week combining skiing, live concerts, DJ sets, yoga and outdoor experiences. The event has established itself as one of the major electronic music festivals held in the mountains in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The atmosphere will then change as the festivities approach. Illuminated parades on the \u00abMagic Avenue\u00bb, torchlit descents, shows, musical entertainment, fireworks and meetings with Christmas characters are set to accompany the year-end holidays in the resort's streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January between young champions and night trail running<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 9th and 10th January<\/strong>, it's time for the Tout Schuss Cup. Organised in partnership with the Les Deux Alpes Ski Club, the competition is for under-12s and aims to spotlight the young skiers destined to become the champions of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week later, a complete change of scenery. The 16 January<\/strong>, nearly 2,000 runners are expected for the fourteenth edition of the Lights of the Muzelle<\/strong>. This nocturnal snow trail offers several formats, from 11 to 42 kilometres, with departures from Vall\u00e9e Blanche at an altitude of 2,100 metres. Snow, cold and darkness make up the playground for this event, which has become one of the flagship fixtures of winter trail running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
