Les 2 Alpes - New Management Promises A Bumper Summer
Since 1 December 2020, the lifts in Les 2 Alpes have been managed by SATA Group (it used to be Compagnie des Alpes under the name Deux Alpes Loisirs).
SATA also manages the ski lifts in Alpe d’Huez and La Grave. Fabrice Boutet, the CEO of SATA Group, says: “It is a great challenge to have integrated Les 2 Alpes in the group. Les 2 Alpes and Alpe d’Huez areunder the same management but each resort will keep its identity.”
SATA Group is investing €290 million in Les 2 Alpes over the next 30 years. The first part of the plan will take place over the next five years and will cost €150 million. It includes redesigning the ski areas and investing in new snow-making equipment. SATA Group will also work on developing the bike areas in the summer and creating new activities.
The mayor of Les 2 Alpes, Christophe Aubert, says: “SATA is going to offer a bright future to Les 2 Alpes. The resort won’t only be a ski resort, but a four-season destination.”
