Les 2 Alpes’ New High-Altitude Beginner Zones
Published : 12-Sep-2025 01:34
Les 2 Alpes is improving its options for new and novice skiers this winter with the launch of two new or improved beginner areas at altitude—located at 2,100m and 2,600m.
To make sure that beginners have good snow, new learning areas at high altitude are being created: the learning area at 2,100m has been redesigned, there is a new beginner area at 2,600m and lifty-company SATA say there's a third planned, right up at 3.200m
Two new magic carpets have been added at the first stop of the Jandri at 2,600 (tapis Express and tapis Grand Plan) so skiers can easily access the Chalet de la Toura restaurant and the Toura ski area.
These additions, similar to moves made by Serre Chevalier and many other resorts, mark a major shift in how first-timers experience the mountain, offering snow-sure conditions and panoramic views from day one, rather than a traditional valley learning facility at the base of the slopes.
At Les 2 Alpes the move complements existing beginner-friendly infrastructure at resort level (1,650m), including three free magic carpet lifts and easy-access gondolas. Crucially, the new elevated zones allow learners to progress higher up the mountain without sacrificing comfort or safety—thanks to gentle gradients, modern lift access, and proximity to restaurants like Chalet de la Toura. The resorts new Jandri cable car offers swift returns from the elevated beginner zone.
