Les 2 Alpes From May: 3 Seasons In One, The New Tempo Of A Non-Stop Mountain

While ski resort calendars traditionally included a break in the spring, Les 2 Alpes is shaking things up. Since May 4, 2026, the destination has shifted into a "non-stop" dynamic, demonstrating that the off-season is now a thing of the past. Here, the umbilical cord of the new Jandri cable car never stops, connecting a resort buzzing with spring activity to still pristine peaks at 3,600 m altitude.

A seamless transition, without interruption.

In Les Deux Alpes, the idea that the mountain "closes" its doors until summer is a thing of the past. The resort now offers a seamless transition between the last snows and the first flower-filled trails. This "longevity" strategy relies on a natural advantage: a ski area reaching an altitude of 3,600 meters, guaranteeing exceptional snow quality, even in May and June.

The possible coexistence of seasons - it's a hybrid period where visitors enjoy absolute freedom, a mountain "à la carte":

In the morning, winter at 3,600 meters: passionate skiers and international athletes gather on a high-altitude area groomed as if it were the heart of winter. The upper part of the ski area (above 2,600 meters) then becomes an open-air training ground where you might encounter the world's elite, from the French Ski Federation to snowboard cross and freestyle champions.

In the afternoon, spring in the resort: A few hundred meters lower, the terraces are already buzzing with sunshine. The hiking trails open, the mountain bike trails of Venosc and Jandri 3200 welcome the first riders, and the contrast becomes striking: you descend back into the greenery after reaching the snow-covered peaks.

A secluded and spectacular experience.

Far from the usual tourist bustle, May offers a more intimate version of the mountains, a suspended moment to explore the great outdoors. It's also the month of all sporting challenges, with an unprecedented concentration of freestyle events at the 2 Alpes snowpark at 3,400m, such as the Spring Rookie Camp (May 10-17) or the Europa Cup rail final (May 21-24).
