Access for Non-Skiing Visitors
Les Deux Alpes has a wide selection of sports & leisure activities, plus a good range of attractions suitable for non-skiing visitors. It also has an extensive network of ski lifts that are accessible to pedestrians
Non-skiers who wish to travel up to the high-altitude restaurants, viewpoints, and sightseeing attractions can purchase a ‘Pedestrian Pass’ covering up to 13 of the station's ski lifts: including all cable cars & gondolas, the
Dôme Express funicular, plus some of the chairlifts.
The full area version also includes one visit to the
Grotte de Glace (Ice Cave) and the
ice rink, plus two visits to the
open-air swimming pool. The villages of
Venosc & Mont-de-Lans are also accessible by lifts that are covered by pedestrian passes.
A special walkers version of Les 2 Alpes' piste map is available from the local tourist board offices and lift pass kiosks.
Ice Cave
A wonderful attraction for all visitors, easily accessible at the top of the
funicular under the summit of the Dôme de Puy-Salié, at an altitude of 3245 m (10,644 ft).
The cave was dug out using hand-tools only, and burrows 30 m (98 ft) down into the ancient ice of the Roche-Mantel glacier. Inside, artists have created tunnels & chambers filled with ephemeral sculptures, backlit to glow eerily in the muted light.
Open daily 10:00–16:00hrs; small entrance charge.
