Giora’s tip

Les 2 Alpes is my recommendation for groups of young friends and freestylers after glacier terrain plus a good-value party scene. The glacier at 3,600m guarantees snow, the vertical is spectacular and the nightlife rivals Val Thorens. A more affordable option than the Tarentaise. Minimum 5 nights.
