Summer Lifts in Les 2 Alpes

Every year it attracts thousands of mountain bikers, hikers, cyclists and summer skiers. Yes you heard that correctly, the glacier is open in summer for skiing, snowboarding and access to the snow park. 

Lifts are open to give access to the summer ski area, and mountain bikers and hikers can take the newly opened Jandri 3S cable car up as far as the bottom of the glacier to enjoy some of the many MTB trails and walking routes on this side of the valley. The Village 1800 and Diable lifts are also open on this side in summer. 

On the opposite side, the Vallée Blanche lift gives you access to more mountain bike trails and you can also take the Venosc gondola during the summer months. 

Lifts will stop running in the case of high winds or bad weather, but you can check on this before you head out by looking at the live lift status. 

Summer lift pass prices are slightly different to winter - it is worth checking the which lifts you can use before setting off. Paragliders also have access to a number of lifts throughout the summer.

Wheelchair access

People in wheelchairs may need to be accompanied by someone who can assist them going up and down stairs.

Babies

It is not recommended to expose babies to sudden changes in altitude or temperature - if lift staff consider your child too young to travel on certain lifts they reserve the right to refuse you entry. You are advised not to take children under three years old up to the glacier.

Medical considerations

Les Deux Alpes is a high altitude resort and the lifts can take you as high as 3,200m. Please consult your doctor before arriving in resort if you have heart problems or any other medical problem that may be exacerbated by a rapid change in altitude.
