Alpe d’Huez is one of France’s larger ski resorts with 250km of skiable pistes encompassing other neighbouring ski resorts. The skiing is extremely varied with plenty of blues and greens, some more challenging reds and sensational blacks. Alpe d’Huez is also mainly a south facing ski resort, so you can expect many long, sunny days. You can ski up to around 3,330m, meaning the ski resort can offer a guarantee of fantastic snow conditions. Night skiing is also available for those who can’t wait for the lifts to re-open.
Alpe d’Huez ski resort has some of the most extensive nursery slopes which make it very appealing to beginners, whilst intermediates will also enjoy skiing around the resort and into the other linked ski resorts of Vaujany and Oz-en-Oisans. Advanced skiers will feel well supplied by this ski area with famous runs like Le Tunnel and Sarenne, whilst freeride skiers will enjoy skiing from the Pit Blanc into powder bowls and couloirs.
Beginner snowboarders will benefit from the multiple nursery slopes, although they should be aware of the large number of drag lifts which may prove challenging to boarders who are just starting out. For freeride snowboarders, Alpe d'Huez ski resort is an off-piste paradise. It is well worth a visit to the open powder field of Le Grand Sablat and Cheminées du Macles couloirs. There is also a giant terrain park which is suitable for park enthusiasts.
With many ski schools and instructors to choose between, there really is something for everybody.
