Les Deux Alpes Lift Pass Options - Winter
| Lift Pass Options for Les Deux Alpes - Winter |
|
There are a number of different passes available this winter; prices can vary according to age, how many of you there are, how many days you want to ski and so on. Planning ahead can help you make the most of your holiday - and hopefully save you some money! |
| Beginners Lift Passes & Free Lifts in Les Deux Alpes |
Free Lifts
There are 4 free drag lifts at the bottom of the ski runs to encourage beginners to find their feet.
Beginners
If you are a complete beginner it is likely that you will be joining ski school for most of your stay, so it is worth discussing with them which pass option is best suited for their beginner groups. However, for the days when you may not be in ski school you might find that the half-day pass or the Ski Sympa (provides access to a smaller ski area) suits you better than an 'all singing all dancing' pass.
