The Skiing Traditions at Les 2 Alpes Ski Resort

By: Gen Wright
 

A tradition of adventures

From a ski resort, the skiers expect a host of varied activities aside from skiing. The new ski resort of Les 2 Alpes provides a tradition of providing a wide choice of adventures to fill such needs. All that a visitor desires is available for their convenience selection, from mountain biking to rock climbing, from cross-country skiing to paragliding, and from swimming to rafting.

Mountain biking at the new ski resort of Les 2 Alpes can be as sedate as following marked trails or can be as thrilling as winning the annual competition. And if biking happens to be a spur-of-the-moment decision, the visitors can find numerous rental shops that provide a variety of bikes and equipment. Rock climbing in the new ski resort of Les 2 Alpes is primarily a summer activity. But the definition of rock climbing is not the scaling of an indoor wall, in which the thrill of the open space is absent. The rock climbers can go to a street named Avenue de la Muzelle where a gigantic artificial wall rises above many buildings.

At the new ski resort of Les 2 Alpes, cross-country skiing is considered as a gentler alternative to alpine skiing. Thus, the whole area has numerous ski trails and skating areas that will be beneficial to the cross-country skiers. Paragliding, however, could not be considered as gentle, despite the gracefulness of the gliders as they move across the sky. The gliders take off from a high location and glides down through the air, taking advantage of the air friction caused by the parachute. Note that people who are new to paragliding must fly in tandem with instructors, but people who have the license and the training may also fly by themselves.

Swimming in the new ski resort of Les 2 Alpes can be done either indoors or outdoors, and the ski resort has four swimming facilities to choose from. Should the visitors desire a closer commune with nature, there is nothing and no one who will stop them from taking advantage of the clear fresh waters of the nearby mountain lakes. For rafting, the visitors can hire the services of any company that offers a white water adventure. Such adventures usually occur in the Veneon River.

A tradition of service

From a ski resort, the skiers expect services and facilities that will meet the needs of a family on vacation. The new ski resort of Les 2 Alpes provides a tradition of impeccable customer service, including the provision of activities that are suitable for children. Babysitting services are also provided, as long as the visitors book in advance, indicating the need for a babysitter. The French laws do require the childcare services companies to obtain the clients present medical records.

As for skiing, families enjoy discounts, especially with the lifts. Children who are younger than 5 years old will have a free pass. Children who are older than 5 years old but younger than 13 years old will have discounted lift passes and families who have more than 2 children are also entitled to more discounts.
