Overview: apartment description: Residence Alba description

Located at the entrance to Les Deux Alpes, the Residence Alba is an ideal choice for families that want great skiing without being in the centre of this lively resort. It’s just one minute’s walk to the Vallée Blanche chairlift and the ski bus stop is two minutes away, so you can hop on and be at the main Jandri Express gondola or ski school meeting point in a few minutes. You can get all of your food suppliers from the Casino supermarket opposite, or head in to the centre and sample some of the many restaurants available.

The cosy and well-maintained apartments are carpeted and have exposed beans, pine furniture and open plan living with sofas, dining areas and a well-equipped kitchen. And there are a range of layouts available with one, two and three bedroom apartments that can sleep up to eight people - some with multiple bathrooms.

At the residence, there’s a secure ski room with ski lockers and heated boot racks, so your equipment will be safe and warm for the next day. And in the evenings, put your feet up and relax in the spacious apartments, watch a DVD or head out to the resort centre for a skate on the ice rink and a drink at some of the popular bars and clubs.

Glacier Skiing Top après Lots of activities

Spectacular views of Mont Blanc aren’t the only bonus of the glacier - this ‘upside down’ ski resort is one of the most snow-sure in the Alps, so much so that you can ski here in the summertime. Much loved for its après ski, the town's main strip is bursting with some of the best bars in the mountains.

Grenoble is the closest airport with a transfer time of just under 2 hours, making the resort accessible by road. The resort was first used for skiing as early as 1925 when the first ski tow was built. The “Les Deux Alpes”, as we know it today, was established in 1946. It is commonly assumed that the name is derived from the two mountains on either side of the town when in reality the name stems from the two villages on either side of the settlement: Mont De Lans and Venosc. The resort is compact, and you’...
There are plenty of beginner slopes on the front face with runs like les Vikings and Les Gentianes for those learning to ski. The great thing about Les Deux Alpes is that there are some terrific beginner slopes higher up the mountain so new skiers can experience the benefits of skiing at altitude. The Cretes area at 2100m is the favourite spot for ski schools, with the ski escalator a welcome aid to those learning to ski. The run home at the end of the day used to have a fearsome reputation for being overcrowded...
You don’t have to look far to find good après in Les Deux Alpes. One of the best bars in resort is Pano bar, this slopeside restaurant, based at 2,600m comes alive at happy hour between 3 pm and 5 pm every day with discounted drinks and a DJ set that will vibrate through your whole body. At the bottom of the piste, Umbrella bar is a great place to keep the party going. If you want to take the night further then Smithy’s is the place to go, with great modern music as well as live entertainment on several night...
