Ski Holidays in Alpe d’Huez, France

Also known as l’Isle au Soleil thanks to an average of 300 days’ sunshine per year, Alpe d’Huez perches on a south-facing plateau high above the clouds with incredible far-reaching views. When it snows, it snows, though, with the resort getting plenty of the white stuff all season long to justify it being called snow sure.

Skiers of all levels are catered for, from the good selection of gentle runs for beginners all the way up to La Sarenne, the legendary 16km black run.

Alpe d’Huez Ski Resort

The resort has a fantastic selection of non-skiing activities on offer, from ice driving to ice skating on the Olympic-sized ice rink; dog-sledding to paragliding. The ice cave at the top of the DMC gondola must not be missed, every year the sculptures change. In the resort itself there is a good selection of bars and restaurants as well as shops, two cinemas, an indoor pool and a climbing wall.

With 249km of pistes, 4 snow-parks, a half-pipe and boardercross – as well as 50km of cross-country trails – Alpe d’Huez caters to all levels. Boarders may come across a few flat areas on the pistes but the freeriding more than makes up for this. Experts have a selection of black runs to add to the off-piste offerings and heli-skiing; as well as the famous La Sarenne, four itinerary runs and the Tunnel are a great way for experienced skiers to test their ability. Intermediates have a great choice of everything from long blues to challenging reds; Beginners have two fantastic networks of gentle green runs just above the village.

Non-skiers can explore 35km of winter walking trails, some of which link up with mountain restaurants meaning everyone can meet up for lunch. This wealth of amenities is the reason why families, groups and non-skiers choose ski holidays in Alpe d’Huez.

Après-ski in Alpe d'Huez is quite lively with a good number of bars spread across the resort. La Folie Douce has changed the face of après-ski at every resort it has graced like Val Thorens and Méribel. This will be no different and will become a major focus of the après-ski loving British market. In town we recommend Smithy's and for late night partying we recommend the Igloo Club (of course).

Skiing in Alpe d’Huez

Alpe d’Huez skiing is perfect for beginners, wide gentle slopes running underneath the DMC Gondola (which are often protected for beginners only), and the local ski schools have an unrivalled reputation in giving novices the best possible start.

One of the longest black runs in Europe, La Sarenne, is particularly challenging with The infamous Tunnel run providing advanced skiers with plenty to enjoy on their ski holidays in Alpe d’Huez.
