Petit Domaine: Les 2 Alpes’ best-kept secret
The Petit Domaine isn’t just for beginners. It covers the bottom of the resort and the whole Vallée Blanche sector : green runs, blue runs from easy to more challenging, and one red run. Something for every level.
Above all, it’s the cheapest way to ride the lower part of the resort. No time to head up to the glacier? Only half a day ahead of you? At €36 a day, it costs less than a half-day Grand Domaine pass (from €45.50). Ideal for a short outing, a family session or warming up at the start of your stay.
And the day after a snowfall, the sector takes on a whole new dimension: Vallée Blanche becomes a great spot to enjoy powder between the trees, right next to the slopes. A real treat to ride, without leaving the Petit Domaine.
Pass available from 12 December 2026 to 5 April 2027, subject to the sector being open and good snow conditions.
Free conveyor lifts and Premières Glisses: for your first turns
The conveyor lifts at the bottom of the resort are free, no pass needed. Perfect for trying snowboarding at the end of the day, or for a child’s very first lesson. It’s not ideal for really making progress (the slope is short and you quickly reach your limits), but it’s a handy way to try without spending a penny.
Ready to go further? The Premières Glisses pass (€26) gives you 4 hours on the beginner drag lifts on the snow front: ideal for learning to glide, stop and ride a drag lift, without paying for the whole ski area.

3 tips to pay less for your ski pass
1. Half a day? Think Petit Domaine. If you don’t need the glacier, it’s the cheapest option for a few hours of riding.
2. Going as a group? Get a pack. For 6 or 7 days, the Family pack (1 to 2 adults + at least 2 children or juniors) and the Tribu pack (3 to 6 adults, online only) save you €15 to €20 per person. And with 6 days or more on the Grand Domaine, you get 2 free days in Alpe d’Huez and 4 days in the Grande Galaxie resorts.
3. Buy your ski pass online. On the official lift company website, skipass-2alpes.com, you skip the queue at the ticket office and can reload your card from one year to the next.
Which pass for your snowboard lesson?
Lift passes aren’t included in our lessons: make sure you buy yours before you meet us at the bottom of the Belle Etoile chairlift.
Group lessons : we recommend the Grand Domaine pass. It gives the group access to the slopes best suited to its progress, so you get the most out of every session.
Private lessons : we also recommend the Grand Domaine, but the pass can be adapted to your plans. For a taster lesson, your very first hours of snowboarding or a kids' lesson, the session can take place on the free conveyor lifts at the bottom of the resort or on the snow-front drag lifts with the Premières Glisses pass. Talk to us when you book: we’ll advise you on the best option.
Pass sorted? Time to ride.
There’s no perfect pass for everyone, just the one that fits your level, your time and your budget. Now all that’s left is to enjoy the snow. And if you want to progress quickly while having fun, we can’t wait to see you in Les 2 Alpes!
