Les Deux Alpes has a lot to shout about; with skiing up to the glacier at an altitude of 3568m, the resort is a safe haven even in the mildest of winters, it is an intermediate's paradise with a wealth of long, cruisy blues and it has arguably the best freestyle snowpark in Europe with not one, but two, half-pipes!

Consider also the lift-linked access to La Grave with it's extraordinary off-piste and one of the most vibrant après scenes in France. And then the throw in the fact that it gets more sunny days than Marseille!
