High in the French Alps, along Europe's largest mountain of Mont Blanc, is Les Deux Alpes, a magnificent ski resort tucked away in France's Department Isère in Rhone-Alpes.
This well-established ski village is the country's second oldest ski resort and rests 1,650 metres above sea level providing more than 3,600 metres in ski runs.
Although the name of the resort translates to mean 'two alps', the resort's name actually refers to the two villages that surround it, Mont-de-Lans and Vénosc.
Once arriving via the convenient Grenoble airport transfers, you'll soon notice that the resort of Les Deux Alpes is accessible by road, however the two encompassing villages can only be reached by gondola.
Winter Skiing Famous for its upside-down term of ski difficulty, this ski resort has become known for having its complicated runs located along the lower slopes of the mountain, while the less difficult slopes are located higher up.
Offering 51 lifts to get around the 100 marked runs, Les Duex Alpes has a variety of challenges for every level of skier.
Less advanced skiers can make use of the gondolas or the resort's gentle runs to get down to the village.
For those who simply wish to give skiing a try, the very bottom of the mountain has been reserved for the nursery slopes.
Les Duex Alpes is also home to the largest ski school in France, Ecole de Ski Français.
Snowpark Aside from the 220 kilometres of pisted runs and more than 2,300 metres of vertical drops, there is also an extensive snow park.
This snow park has become a preferred choice for those who require more than vertical skiing to get their daily rush.
Guests who arrive via Grenoble airport transfers will be able to put their personal snow equipment to practice within a few hours of landing.
All of the park features can be utilised, including freecross, the axe pipe, boardercross, multiple kickers and several grinding rails.
There is also a section just for kids where up-and-coming shredders can perfect their skills using hoops, rails and tables.
Summer Biking The ski hill is just as popular and busy during the summer months as the winter months.
This is due to the magnificent freeride mountain biking that can be enjoyed once the snow has gone - at least once most of the snow has gone.
The Jandri Express gondola continues to bring the adventurous to the glacier, where those with limitless thrill-seeking issues take advantage of the mile-long vertical trail that turns even the most modest mountain biker into a speed racer.
This is the perfect opportunity to test your personal mountain bike, which can travel with you if you book Grenoble airport transfers to the resort.
Even in summer you can take in a day of snow skiing.
While most are basking in the sun relaxing in warm Mediterranean waters, die-hard skiers have the option of visiting Mont de Lans and Girose glaciers at Les Deux Aples between the months of June and September.
For those taking a summer holiday of sporting events, Grenoble airport transfers can easily get you and your sporting equipment from the airport to where you need to be.
