Explore the Mountains Differently — Nature, Sport, and Connection
In the heart of the Oisans region, Les 2 Alpes offers much more than just skiing. For those looking to discover the mountains from a new perspective, snowshoe hiking is a must-try winter activity. Accessible, refreshing, and suited to all profiles, it appeals equally to families on holiday and to groups taking part in seminars or team building events.
Walking through fresh snow, far from the buzz of the ski lifts, means rediscovering the silence of the mountains, spotting wildlife, and soaking in the beauty of the alpine landscapes.
Marked Trails for All Levels
Les 2 Alpes features several marked snowshoe trails, classified by difficulty. These routes allow you to:
Hike independently and safely
Immerse yourself in snow-covered pine forests
Reach spectacular viewpoints over the Écrins mountain range
The trails are maintained and clearly marked, with trailheads easily accessible from the resort or nearby hamlets.
Easy Snowshoe Rentals in the Resort
No need to bring your own gear—many sports shops in Les 2 Alpes offer snowshoe rentals by the half-day or full day. Staff can help you choose the right equipment based on your size and the type of route you plan to take.
Renting on-site also gives you the flexibility to plan a spontaneous outing depending on your mood or the weather.
