‘Full Moon Evenings: NIGHT
SKIING ON THE SUMMITS
Night skiing has been possible in Les 2
Alpes for 25
years. The idea is to ski after the lifts
have closed, while the moon creates a
surreal
atmosphere on the ski slopes, giving
fearless skiers unforgettable thrills.
This night skiing evening is unique as it
takes place on the 2 Alpes glacier at an
altitude of 3,200m. The programme: skiing
on the glacier till sunset, mountain
dinner at altitude and then downhill in
the moonlight to the ski station (1,600m
altitude), i.e. more than 1,600m altitude
difference. An unforgettable and intense
experience reserved for the privileged
few: the first 150 to enrol.

‘Freeride
Attitude’: raising awareness for
skiing off piste.
The Freeride
Attitude event takes place every week on
Mondays and Tuesdays. It aims at
increasing public awareness of the
mountain, avalanches and skiing off piste. It should be
remembered that the station wants to
inform about and not prohibit off piste skiing! For
12 years now, Les 2 Alpes has given you
the opportunity to learn how to ski off
piste safely!

‘BABYSNOW’, NEW SNOW
EQUIPMENT FOR THE LITTLE ONES
In 2010, Les 2 Alpes has
introduced the BABYSNOW, a new piece of
equipment for winter sports. Developed by
a ski instructor / mountain guide from
Les 2 Alpes,
it is like a snowscoot for young
children. Dedicated to children from 1 to
5, it can be used while snowshoeing,
walking or especially skiing. The adult
and the child can have fun together. All
those who have tried it were impressed.
Parents and children can finally share a
moment together. It is more than a
sledge; it is more original and
sensational.
The BABYSNOW is for sale and/or rental in
most sports shops in Les 2 Alpes.
The Ski School of Les 2 Alpes offers
training to parents who would like to try
the BABYSNOW with their children.
