Les 2 Alpes The Best Place in Oisans

2 Alpes is a heaven on Earth for the fans of ski and snowboard! With an infinite choice of mountain activities, a dynamic and varied après ski, a busy night-life, a heritage and a tradition preserved, 2 Alpes has the necessary assets for a successful ski holiday. In the middle of the XXth century, the mountain villages of Venosc and Mont de Lans introduced a collaboration which ended in the birth of the ski resort of 2 Alps. The south side of the resort, the village of Venosc, is the most attractive and pleasant part of the resort. The north side is mainly established by buildings, but has the advantage to be at the foot of the slopes with diverse stores, pubs and restaurants.
