great place – some top quality trails, including the mental run down to venosc and the super steep double black.
Also some real back country routes starting at the glacier (~3200m)
Much higher than morzine therefore less trees
You are more limited than the morzine area though for trails, the morzine lift pass gets you all around the porte du soleil (as you probably know), best you get at 2Alpes is a day free at Alpe d'Huez with a weeks pass anyhow.
Still one of my favorite places to ride, the weather is better than morzine (further south) and there is a real mix of people there, and its always amusing to see the skiers\snowboarders coming down from the glacier at lunchtime in full cold weather gear when its 30degrees in the resort 🙂
