The Resort

Accessing the mountain restaurants and meeting up with family and friends is easy as several of the gondolas take wheelchairs and for non-skiers this is a great opportunity to go up and join in the fun. A pedestrian pass is available from the ski lift office and the tourist office will be delighted to help with other activities.

Grenoble is the closest airport but Lyon, Geneva and Chambery are also within access although a slightly longer transfer

What People Say about Les 2 Alpes and Ski 2 Freedom Foundation

The following are delighted to share their experiences with you on how Les 2 Alpes was able to assist and empower them to have a life enhancing winter and ski holiday. If you would like to speak directly with one of our beneficiaries please contact us so we can put you in touch – sometimes sharing a similar condition can be most reassuring especially for first timers!

Dear Amanda, Dear Catherine,

Just a big thank you – the skiing trip was a great success – as you can see from the enclosed video. Amanda, could you please also pass my thanks to Loic. He was just brilliant, very patient with Hana and always very cheerful.

Catherine, I would certainly recommend Les 2 Alpes for people with limited mobility like Hana. For somebody who is reliant on a wheel chair the bus service might be difficult to cope with. They would have to aim for the very centre with a direct access to the lifts.

Hana is already looking forward to next year skiing.

Thanks again, George
