Piste map of Les Deux Alpes
The piste map of Les Deux Alpes shows a ski area spread across a huge range of altitudes, stretching from the village at 1 650 metres up to the glacier at 3 600 metres, with a total of 225 kilometres of groomed pistes served by 47 lifts. The lower section around the village is dominated by easier blue and green runs that are ideal for beginners, while the steeper slopes towards the summit and the glacier area offer challenging black and red runs for more experienced skiers. What makes the map distinctive is how clearly it separates the summer skiing on the glacier at the very top from the winter area's descents, making it easy to plan your day according to ability and weather.

How to ski in Les Deux Alpes
Beginners and families will feel naturally at home near the village at 1 650 metres, where the green and blue pistes are easily reached straight from the centre of Les Deux Alpes. The terrain here is gentle and easy to read, perfect for practising without having to travel far by lift. From the village it is simple to glide back to your accommodation in the afternoon without any lengthy transfers.
The higher up the system you go, the more demanding the terrain becomes. The red and black sections lie in the upper part towards the glacier area, where steeper flanks and more technical terrain take over. With 225 kilometres of pistes in total, split roughly into a third blue, a third red and a fifth black, there is plenty of scope to work your way up through the grades over the course of a week.
The ski area is linked along the full height range between village and summit, making it possible to move more or less uninterrupted from 1 650 metres up towards 3 600 metres, depending on the weather and which lifts are running. With 47 lifts in the system you can cover large parts of the area in a single day, but the vertical drop means it takes time to travel between the lower and upper sections.
A practical tip is to plan your day by altitude rather than by aspect. The lower pistes near the village often get heavier, wetter snow in the middle of the day, while the upper slopes towards the glacier hold better snow quality later into the season thanks to the altitude. Mornings in the upper part also tend to be quieter than the afternoon queues at the lift stations near the village.
