Hotel at the Deux-Alpes: glacier skiing

Opt for a hotel at the Deux-Alpes and experience a winter sports icon: the Isère resort was one of the first to have been built in France in the 1950s. The Mercure establishment is located in the heart of the resort, amidst all of its facilities and activities.

A passion for mountain sports

At the crossroads of the Northern and Southern Alps, the resort is tucked away just north of the Ecrins massif, renowned for its many glaciers. From your Deux-Alpes hotel, enjoy easy access to mile after mile of ski slopes and its glacier culminating at 3,600 metres high: one of Europe's biggest skiable glaciers. Thanks to this exceptional natural environment, the resort attracts fans of all different snow sports. Enjoy cleared, groomed slopes or go off-piste and freestyle in the peaks: there's something to suit all tastes! The Deux-Alpes is linked to La Grave and its La Meije resort, a temple to off-piste Alpine skiing, reserved for only the most experienced and seasoned of skiers. New snow sports can also be enjoyed at Freestyle Land, a celebration of all things freestyle skiing and snowboarding.

Summer skiing

The Deux-Alpes is also one of the rare few resorts to offer summer skiing options. The glacier enjoys natural snowfall all year-round, and the area (between 3,000 and 3,600 metres of altitude) is open in the sunny season, too. Those who prefer walking can get there on foot to enjoy spectacular views over its snow-capped peaks. When it comes to kicking back, the resort is packed full of spas and well-being areas, including one near your Mercure hotel. Finally, come summer, athletes flock to the Deux-Alpes for mountain-climbing, paragliding or a chance to hit the mountain-biking slopes. Major mountain-biking competitions are held here every year.
