Mother and daughter on a ski lift

Les Deux Alpes France

Les Deux Alps is one of France’s original ski resorts and still one of the most affordable, both for skiing and après ski fun for all the family.

Set high in the picturesque Dauphine region, it’s a lively and colourful resort. There’s a vast ski area – over 200kms of pistes – an impressive snow record and an above-average amount of sunshine.

Every member of the family will be happy here: our Chalethotel has its own children’s club, there are well-organised lessons for beginners and improvers and a huge choice of ski runs for every level. Boarders have their own snow-park with a specialist school and two half-pipes among the features.

We offer ski hosting for competent older children and adults who want to explore the resorts’ well-tended pistes while off the slopes, there’s plenty going on, from ice-skating to ice-dodgems.

Ski Hosting is provided
The Chalethotel ski hosts are on hand to help, from meeting at the airport and accompanying you on the transfer to pointing you in the right direction for ski school, the shortest lift queue or the best lunch stop.

A ski hosting service is offered on five days, to add to competent skiers’ enjoyment of the resort.  There are three ‘ability’ groups: leisurely, intermediate and advanced, each with its own ski host. Join for half or the full day, change groups if need be: it’s up to you.

Meet your ski host after breakfast, explore slopes suitable for your level of expertise and fitness and meet up with the rest of the family – and fellow guests – at an agreed lunch venue. Carry on in the afternoon or drop out to do your own thing.

Hosts are advanced skiers and know the resort intimately, but they are not accredited mountain guides or instructors: beginners will need to arrange lessons with the local ski school.

Hotel facilities

Chalethotel La Berangere

Our Chalethotel is a great combination of high standards and super location.  Set at the foot of the slopes, facing south with views over the Massif de l’Oisans, the luxurious La Berangere is a real find.

The social areas provide comfy places to sit around the fire and there’s a great restaurant. The lower ground floor offers an indoor pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi as well as a treatment room for aching muscles.

At the end of the season, weather permitting the outdoor heated pool and sunny terrace comes into use.

Spacious and light, most rooms have picture windows, a sun-trap balcony and a good-sized ensuite shower room as well as TV and hairdryer. There is a mix of room types from twin-bedded to family suites, but prices are based on twin-bedded rooms for one adult and one child under 16.

What's included

Your holiday price is based on direct flights from Gatwick to Chambery (many regional airports are available), with transfers to resort (approx 120 minutes), and accommodation for one adult and one child under 16 in a twin room.

Breakfast and afternoon tea are included every day, with dinner on six evenings, with wine for adults and squash for children.

Ski hosting services on five days are also included in the price, as is the option to make use of the evening ‘drop-in’ crèche.

Please ask for prices for babies and toddlers under three years.
