The Dome Express, an underground funicular that takes tourist up to nearly three thousand and five hundred meters was opened in the late nineties. The trip with this funicular is more than worth it - the panorama of Les 2 Alpes ski resort on a clear day is fantastic and if you're lucky you might be able to see even one of Europe's highest peaks, Mount Blanc. Unfortunately, unpredictable winds and blizzards in the winter can leas to closing of the top.
