Les 2 Alpes, which means "the two Alps," does not refer to the two facing mountain sides that make up the resort. Instead, the name refers to two adjacent areas of the original mountain pasture on the plateau where the resort was established. These pasture areas (known as 'alps' in French) belong to the two villages of Mont-de-Lans and Vénosc, located in the valleys to the north and south of the resort. Although there is no road connecting the resort to Vénosc, a gondola provides access between the two, and a footpath is available during the summer months.
