Les 2 Alpes
Announces Expanded Summer Terrain Park
2010
Les 2 Alpes has announced it will operate its
biggest snowpark yet when it re-opens for
summer skiing and boarding on June 16th.
The resort’s internationally renowned
summer snowpark was originally launched 16
years ago in 1994 and continues to expand
thanks to the help of dedicated professionals
and huge investment by the resort.
The park, located between 3300 and 3400 metres
now covers some 18 hectares and is open from
7.30am to 1pm. It is open for all ability level
from beginners to experts, with or without an
instructor.
Complete with two dedicated drag lifts to reach
the park and a snow tow to reach the two pipes,
the park has three different zones: a ski fun
zone (on the northern section of the Dôme
sud area with a boardercross, whoops, 2
beginner’s tables and a line of boxes), a
pro zone (big air, tables, hips and many other
modules: rails, containers, drums etc…)
and an advanced zone.
There’s also a relaxation area, known as
the Coolzone located above the pipe and this
will be redesigned this year. There’ll
also be a shred area that will cover the length
of the Snowpark and an Olympic size super pipe
(6.5 metres high and 140 metres long).
Other features will include a big air bag for
freestyle training on a huge air mattress to
avoid accidents.
The park has nine employees and 30 voluntary
shapers on site every day. It will
be open through to August 28th and it’s
one of 80 summer activities offered by the
resort, which also include water sports, 200
kilometres of hiking trails, nature and
mountain lakes, mountain bike descents,
paragliding flights and bungy jumps.
