 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just booked accom in L2A for esrly Feb 2025 for myself (sketchy intermediate) and a group of 5 other school friends who are a mix of first timers or last did it when we were at school?
Has anyone been to L2A this year? Or any general reviews, we are all pushing late 20s so looking for something that isn’t to taxing and has a good apres/ nightlife with good snow…. L2A seemed to fit the bill!
Any feedback welcome, we haven’t done flights as waiting for EasyJet to open up for Grenoble- so If better options for beginners and nightlife please let me know!

I was there for a week at the end of January....I think it is ideal for real beginners as the beginners slopes are at the bottom and lots of level 2 at the first lift stop ..(diabalo) ..but its a very lively resort and can be very busy ..we tried to get a meal on the first (saturday) night and were lucky to get a place in a restaurant ..lots of supemarkets if you are self catering ..but not cheap.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Now I have found a great offer for Val Thorens if I book this week!
Would Val Thoren suite beginners and good apres for my group?
Thanks!

Hi Pressers94!
Of the places I've skied (and apres-skied) over the years:
Val Thorens is a great shout. The apres-ski bar under the chairlift in all the TikTok vids is the Folie Douce in VT. Plenty of beginner and intermediate skiing, plus if you've built up enough confidence you can ski over to Meribel valley from VT or Les Menuires. Reaching the 3rd of the 3 valleys (Courchevel) might be a turn too far but do-able. Can always cab or bus back to VT.
Val D'Isere/Tignes another good option. VDI is pricier but nicer, plenty of beginner slopes at the top of Solaise or Olympique lifts. You'll be better off downloading in the lifts back to the town though, the runs are tough and at the end of the day busy and skied out. So that's a consideration. VDI is home to a(nother) Folie Douce & Dick's Tea Bar. Tignes is more accessible via blue runs and offers cheaper accommodation but doesn't have the cachet of VDI.
Meribel & Courchevel 1650 in the 3V would also be good options but (slightly) more of an older crowd and a bit quieter than VT. IMO Courchevel valley has the best skiing in the 3V so that may bump it up in your thinking. Meribel is a good all-rounder - has an apres-bar called the Rond-Point which is fun and plenty of bars in town.
I'm a big fan of St Anton and Verbier but they're not very suitable for beginners, save for another trip.
Places I've not been that I hear would be worth considering: L2A, Alpe D'Huez, Ischgl, Mayrhofen.

Thanks So much for the reviews.
I am tempted to change to VT however currently the prices for L2A are very good.
Per person its currently
Accom £160- AirBnb 3min walk from main L2A lift, Jandri
Flights with Bags £140
Transfers £200
Ski Pass £240
Ski Hire £100
Hard to argue with that price for a weeks skiing!

Les 2 Alpes is excellent value. I'm taking my family this Easter.
When you go next year the new 3S lift will have replaced the existing Jandri lift - that's a huge upgrade so will have skier flow up the mountain hugely.
