Ski Racing 2 Alpes | Elite Training Destination

A reference training site for ski racing in Les 2 Alpes, the high-altitude domain reaches 3,600 m and welcomes the world’s elite every spring during the Spring Training Sessions 2 Alpes (May 4 – July 5, 2026).

Strategically repositioned in spring, ski racing training in Les 2 Alpes guarantees optimal natural snow conditions from 3,400 m to 2,600 m until the end of May, then from 3,600 m to 2,800 m until early July.

In 2025, 34 nationalities and 24 national federations chose to train on the high-altitude domain of Les 2 Alpes for their preparation cycles: major European federations, non-European national teams and ski clubs.
