Just come home just right from there. Also stayed at UCPA. In the same room as the former GustavR

And the negative is as Gustav says that there were quite a lot of stones that broke into the slopes from steep cliffs. Was maybe some of the skis ..
And yes, some strides of fans also. But did not think they were so awful, more fun to float on a little slowly sometimes.

The park was wonderful, grumpy i went in. Incredible amounts of different jumps. Big and small. Assisted landings. Wide and nice.
And a big half-pipe!
However, the park lifts when we went there had to take a longer wreck was a bit tough.

Last day we got pillows, and that was really nice. And you did not have to be afraid that it would be lost even if it was only 5 meters outside the piste. (In addition, the pillows in the slopes were also: D)
The day we left home there were even more pillows, but had to go;

However, I found the accommodation at UCPA to be a bit bad. Perhaps not the accommodation itself. But the people who worked there and people who lived there. Shared room with someone who forgot to lock the door one day, and when we got from the back there were two unconscious ryskor in our room ..

Otherwise a very good place, with good off-piste, nice park. And many shops ..

4th because of the powder, otherwise it would probably have been a third, but I will not return to you ..

Just come home after having been there with UCPA for a week. Overall, I think the place was great.
But some negative things existed. When we arrived, unfortunately it had not been snowing for a long time and it was VERY small and big stones in several of the slopes, therefore, did not run properly. Because Some snow was also quite bad, except for the trees.
Now to the positive. They had the best park I saw, a lot of jumps (both small and large, not so many rails (but it's not that bad) and so it was the right people who went there.
The lifts are good and fast o You can quickly get to the top of the system and then go all the way down. However, there are some very flat transport routes that you sometimes need to pass, but it is quite easy to avoid them too.
Last day it had finally snowed o We had to go in 50 cm cushions! We had a lot of nice ride in. Someone else started to go there, and when they did, it was just to go a little aside to drive in untouched snow. It was always possible to find pristine places.
The village lay along a main street and had sickly many "ski shops".
Our guide was named William (Willy) and was good good.
L2A was so good except that there was so little snow. You should probably not go there early in the season.

Traveled to Les 2 Alpes with Nortlander v. 2 ... it was a week with some Swedes, some snow and little girls. The bars are probably good if there is more snow. The staff at Nortlander is nothing to complain about. Schyssta persner all.
We did not stay at the hotel itself but had a "studio" that they fixed for us. Not recommended if you want to live in a place with a little more space.
A tip if you travel with Nortlander is to follow the arrangements they arrange in the evenings.
It's something you'll never forget / remember.

Les 2 Alpes .. Been there for a week ago and unfortunately there was not much snow at all. The backs were rocky (got the scratch of the world), the offpiste was wind-packed, oily and rocky and they only had the "summer" park open. But I still thought it was okay. Should there be more snow, it would certainly be great to be there for the sake of the ride! It was iof the first time I was in the Alps .. The nightlife then. We spotted the sausage week they said, many bars and no female figure as long as the eye could reach, you saw one soon there were 20 guys on the queue. Check out the guides what week you "doted" and how much snow it is, it can certainly be a top stay, close to La Grave too!

Have lived in Grenoble for one year and had read 2 alpes as my second home. There are no Swedes who are both positive and negative. Nightlife is not the chamonic Swedish with after skis and dancing on the bar without a fierce French. (The place is in France with the most grass being said.) At la Rhumerie and later on le Brazil it can get a good pace. Really lovely mood in the resort and badly good skiing in one of France's top resorts, 4300. Off the piste is nice and lasting a long time! It is also walking distance over the mountain (10 min) to la Grave where the really coolest off-piste is.

OK. Good fun park. Lovely halfpipe. The offpist was good. Pistes work but not top.
As usual in the Alps, the guide is required if you are there for the first time. It finds untouched snow and calm challenging rides.
Many beginners. Have never seen so many beginners at one and the same time. Many beginners make lice nest remain for a few days and wear and tear on fun parks becomes small.
The night life was not world-class but it could be nice and just soak in a quiet bar too .....

Were in Les 2 Alpes v5 2004, with UCPA.
Went with UCPA guide for 2 days, he took us on the offpist scratch o forest tours. But honestly I thought so !!! The backs were too light, how many transports are there ??

Should you go with UCPA and are F el F + riders in Cham, you can easily be disappointed.

Nightlife was like MartinB said, boring.

But the light in Les 2 Alpes was their park. It was really good and not a lot of people.
The park is easily a 4+, could be more jump in line.

But overall it's a 2'a.

Come to him yesterday from Les 2 Alpes. We were a bunch of 6 guys with varied skiing skills, from some who went a lot to two who went for the first time. Seems that the system fits best for the beginners because the slopes do not offer a huge challenge, when it got a little steep, it was only short distances before it planned again.

But there were backs that were made for carving rides, test the hill right to the left when you pulled up the eight-stroke lift, it was wide long and quite steep, where I experienced many nice carving rides ....

Unfortunately, we did not have a sneeze in the terrain but you saw many places where you could have fun in pillows ...

The village itself was not a party place just, there were quite a few pubs so it was about finding one where the people were for the evening. I can recommend: The Secret, English pub where you could sing the beers under After skin.
Smokey Joes, sweet waitresses, great food and good island during their themed evenings.

But as said, these places close at 2 o'clock and after that there was only l'avalanche, which was an ok place that was open to four. plus another, but this was the j-way to go. take TAXI .....

It summarizes quite well what my uncle said about the place: "Jasså, there are many Englishmen and Danes, then it's for easy skiing"

Great skiing, but it did not matter when we were there at week 8. Try the absolute glacier that is pure butterflying, and almost always perfect snow regardless of the weather .. The village was nothing to brag about. We were a girlfriend who wanted to party and have fun every evening..Man at half past two - two close all places (ie the pubs). Discona (there would be five, we found two) were quite boring + that they were expensive. The one was central, the other was 4657 miles out in the bush. So yes, the trip, accommodation and skiing were alright, but the nightlife was the bottom!

Les 2 Alpes operates in advance with its 2300m fall height as a real altitude but the resort does not really live up to the numbers.
The first about 500 fall height meters are really good, but then there is a really fat flake where there is not much in addition to a snowboarding country. On the flak there is a rich deep ravine, which invites you to go pretty well, but it is not enough.
Once you've reached the top of the 3200m fun, there's not much to get on the higher glacier. Go to La Grave.
