Les Deux Alpes Glacier 3600 piste map
The highest sector of the ski area, ranging from 3,600 m to 3,200 m, offers year-round snow and panoramic alpine views. This area is accessible via the Jandri lift system and provides terrain suitable for all levels.
Toura/Snowpark piste map (2,600-2,900 m)
Located between 2,600 m and 2,900 m, this is the freestyle hub of Les Deux Alpes, featuring one of the best snowparks in Europe, suitable for all levels.
La Fée/Le Diable piste map (2,100-2,400 m)
The La Fée and Le Diable sectors cover a large part of the mid- to high-altitude terrain on the southern side of Les Deux Alpes. Located between 2,100 m and 2,400 m, these two sectors offer contrasting skiing experiences within the same area. La Fée is known for its quieter atmosphere and freeride terrain, offering open slopes and panoramic views. In contrast, Le Diable is one of the most challenging sectors in Les Deux Alpes, featuring steeper red and black runs that descend through varied terrain. The sector is also strategically important within the ski area, as it connects efficiently to both the glacier via the Pierre Grosse gondola and the lower parts of the resort.
Vallée Blanche piste map (2,100 m)
At 2,100 m, Vallée Blanche offers a quieter environment and is now particularly suitable for beginners thanks to new gentle slopes.
Belle Étoile/resort base piste map (2,100-1,650 m)
The Belle Étoile and resort base sectors cover the lower part of Les Deux Alpes ski area around 1,650 m to 2,100 m. The Resort base (snow front) is designed for first-time skiers, with free lifts, ski schools and dedicated learning zones, making it the ideal place to start. It’s also where most ski lessons and beginner facilities are located. Above it, the Belle Étoile sector offers a natural progression, with wide green and blue runs that allow skiers to build confidence while staying close to the resort. Access is quick and efficient via multiple lifts, including the Belle Étoile and Village 1800 connections.
