bad luck am coming over for one day only... (1h45 drive for l'alpe d'huez)...

Les deux alpes is a cool place for carving... u might run across a few other swoards because there is a few near Grenoble that hang out there too ( sorro etc)

Hi Guys,

Yes, will be there, but only for saturday, the day when everyone is on the road, and thus not on the slopes :wink: .
But maybe we can meet next saturday, at least in the morning before you leave.

Yes, les2alpes is a good place to carve, very high, so for sure you will have very good snow conditions... best slopes to carve are not really on the top even if Le dome is a good slope when snow conditions are good only at the top, but La breche, Super diable (when groomed), valentin are my favorite ones... but many others are often very good for all level.

One good thing to know, La fée sector, can be also very good, especially when there is lots of people everywhere, La fée is a bit forgotten, because there is quite a long way to go there, with 2 flat sections (so try to keep the speed). But when you are there, 2-3 good slopes, with often less people. And moreover, with a good bar there to take a rest :wink:

Enjoy!

Thanks for informations guys!

Does anyone know a way from Grenoble to Les2alpes? Tomorrow morning we're going to that resort, but on bouth standart mountain passes
(Torino, Oulx, Montgenevre, Briancon, Les2Alpes) you need snow chains. That means, there could be some breakes and traffic jams.

Well the only way is road through tunel Frejus and along to highway and back to Les2Alpes. So I wanna know, how the road from Grenoble to Les2
looks like?Any narrow roads or something like that?


Thank you for informations again, and hope to see you there!

The road from Grenoble to Les 2 Alpes is a good road. Not a highway, but a standard road. You might find some traffic at the Frejus Tunnel because until tonight, the Mont Blanc tunnel is forbiden for trucks, so they will probably use the Frejus one. Check Mont Blanc tunnel web site for tomorrow.
