Alpe d’Huez is a fantastic all-round resort. The mountains surrounding Alpe D’Huez are extensive, and suit all standards of rider. They also benefit from great snow conditions and off-piste. However, Alpe D’Huez also gets a lot of sun, which can take its toll on the piste, but is great when there is a big snowfall and bluebird skies follow the next day. The town of Alpe D’Huez provides a friendly and fun atmosphere, but it is slightly lacking in traditional French charm. Alpe d’Huez is less well known than many of the big French resorts, but it’s starting to give them a run for their money, and the following of Brits who return year after year is steadily rising. It also helps that Alpe d’Huez is only an hour from Grenoble airport.

Ski Information...

Beneath the Pic Blanc at 3330 metres lies this lift system which helps to cover 250 kilometres of piste on one ski pass. It is ideal for families and groups of different abilities. For beginners there are easy-to-reach nursery slopes in the centre of the resort. For the early intermediates there are outstanding blues and greens, including tree-lined runs in the Auris and Vaujany areas. Advanced skiers and boarders can enjoy the 16km Sarenne, the longest black run in Europe, the Canyon and some excellent off-piste. If you can contemplate the drop from Le Tunnel you know you’ve cracked the sport! Alpe d’Huez has gained a great reputation amongst snowboarders and includes a permanent natural half-pipe known as Le Couloir.
