Our recommended accommodation options in Les Deux Alpes are as follows -
MMV Les Clarines
Recently opened in December 2021, the 4* MMV Les Clarines offers modern, self catering apartments in the Les Clarines area of Les Deux Alpes. A particular highlight of this residence is the wellness area with an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, sauna and hammam. You can also stay with breakfasts included in the on-site restaurant and we've teamed up with the great local restaurant Le Spot to make a half board package.
MMV Le Panorama
Guests staying at MMV Le Panorama have the option to stay full board (breakfasts, lunches and dinners) or All Inclusive (all meals with certain drinks included). This hotel club has a spa area for guests to enjoy with sauna, hammam and hot tubs.
The resort is also a good destination for beginners, with green runs that are located close to the village and with well reviewed ski schools what better place to learn. Once the basics have been learnt you can build up your confidence and skills by taking on the longer green runs in the Les Crêtes area. Families are well catered for and will make use of the dedicated area for beginners and children. The ski schools run special classes for children aged between 6 and 12 and for those aged between 3 and 6 the kindergarten slopes are the perfect place to learn. The Babysnow club is also available for those aged between 1 and 3 so whatever the age the kids will have something to do.
There is also plenty for intermediate and advanced skiers to enjoy, La Fée valley has a good mix of red and black runs as well as giving you the chance to ski off-piste. If you like a challenge Le Diable is worth having a go on, it is the steepest and longest black run in the resort.
For cross-country skiers, there is 27kms of tracks laid out at the bottom of Valle Blanche which are free to use. If you want to access more terrain, the best option is to hire a car and drive to Villar d’Arene (takes around 30 minutes). Once there you can access a 3, 7 and 10km loop.

There are plenty of other activities for you to enjoy. The fact that there are dozens of bars, restaurants and clubs in the resort means you are bound to find a venue that works for you. There are lots of lively sports bars, like Smokey’s, but also some nice quiet places like the Secret Bar for those who mainly want to chill and chat. Although you do need to bear in mind that all of the bars get noisy as they fill up. If you want a quiet drink, you will need to go out relatively early.
Food wise, all tastes are catered for, but the emphasis is definitely on French cuisine. However, you can get everything from Haute Cuisine to crepes. If you fancy something simple like a burger, The Spot is a good place to go. For other cuisines like Indian, Thai and Chinese, the Globe Trotter is a good option.
Even if you do not like skiing much, you will not be bored in this resort. There is an ice rink, an outdoor heated pool, a large indoor pool, a cinema, a bowling alley, archery, an indoor climbing wall, snow shoe walks, ice cave tours and other leisure activities for you to enjoy.
If you are an adrenaline junkie why not go paragliding, dog sledding, sledging, tobogganing or ski-dooing. At certain times of the year, you can get a great view of the mountains from a helicopter.
Ben’s Bus offers shared Les Deux Alpes Airport Transfers are almost certainly the cheapest way of getting from the airport to Les Deux Alpes. Grenoble offers to most frequent shared transfers but are also available from Lyon.
Alternatively, private transfers are an option, they tend to be more expensive but you get a door to door service and there's no waiting around at the airport. For groups of 8 (which is the sweet spot for minibus transfers) it wouldn't be too different in price to shared.
