Les 2 Alpes Launch New Outdoor Mountain Festival

The summer starts at full speed in Les 2 Alpes, France, with a brand new outdoor mountain festival for the opening of the season, from 22 to 25 June.

Visitors will be able to try an array of exciting activities including downhill mountain biking, paragliding, trail running, climbing, golf, summer skiing and snowboarding, fixie bike and ski on wheels…as well as taking part in competitions and contests.

This new festival includes a show where outdoor brands will exhibit their new gear, as well as many entertainments: concert, slack line world record…

Those who are looking for softer activities can take part in yoga lessons, hikes… and just enjoy the atmosphere!

New for this summer season Easy 2 Ride is a new area to learn and practice mountain biking, located at the bottom of the slopes, by the tennis courts and next to Les Lutins lift.

This child-friendly area is the perfect place to gain confidence before trying tricks on Les 2 Alpes Bike Park.

There’s also a new Pumptrack next to the Easy 2 Ride, a fun area for mountain bikers, skateboarders, roller skaters and scooters with bumps, runs and banked turns.

Other new attractions include a bike park video zone where bikers can get filmed automatically on the Piste aux Etoiles and a new 7m long skywalk opened in December at the top of the glacier at 3,400 metres (Soreiller summit), where you’ll be blown away by the unique 360° views!

Finally, a new skatepark created in bowl shape will open in July 2017
