1. Les 2 Alpes<\/h2>\n

Altitude:<\/strong> up to 3,560 m<\/p>\n

Kilometres of pistes:<\/strong> 200 km<\/p>\n

The highest prepared pistes in France are located in the Les 2 Alpes<\/a> glacier ski area. Skiers and snowboarders can let off steam here on a total of 200 km of pistes of all levels of difficulty and the highest mountain station is located at 3,560 metres above sea level on the D\u00f4me de la Lauze. The summit is also the starting point for the longest piste (16 km) to Mont de Lans (1,280 m) and for the snow groomer shuttle to the La Grave freeride area. High up in the “Glacier” area of the ski resort, there is also a large snow park with a halfpipe and a panoramic point at 3,421 metres from which you can see as far as Mont Blanc. Some of the glacier pistes in Les 2 Alpes are also open in summer<\/a>, so you can ski here all year round.<\/p>\n
