Les 2 Alpes has not announced its opening date for the 2026/27 season yet. Our own estimate, based on the resort's altitude and its past seasons, puts it around November 29, 2026: that is a forecast, not an announcement. The resort confirms the date each autumn and we keep it up to date at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/les-2-alpes.
Les 2 Alpes is expected to close for the 2026/27 season on April 26, 2027. The real date depends on how the snow holds up at the top (3600 m) late in the season, and the resort usually announces it only a few weeks ahead: the up-to-date version is at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/les-2-alpes.
Les 2 Alpes skis on a glacier, so its calendar runs beyond the normal season: it opens earlier and closes later than the non-glacier resorts around it, and the top station reaches 3600 m. What is open at any given time depends on the state of the glacier; the current dates are at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/les-2-alpes.
It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The Les 2 Alpes daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/les-2-alpes, and the live cameras at https://www.caranva.app/en/webcams/esqui/les-2-alpes. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (3600 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.
Between 1650 and 3600 metres, a vertical drop of 1950 m. That difference is why the snow is not the same across the whole resort on the same day: the upper slopes hold up better late in the season, while the lower part, at 1650 m, is the first to feel rain or warm weather. That is why the Les 2 Alpes report is read by altitude band, at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/les-2-alpes.
Les 2 Alpes has 220 km of pistes and 38 lifts, between 1650 and 3600 m of altitude.

The alternative is walking into a shop at the resort on a first-come basis, which over a bank holiday or at Christmas means queuing for whatever is left.
