Please note, the Ski Club is unable to place a Rep in Alpe d’Huez for the 2025/26 season and beyond.
The sunny bowl directly above the resort offers up some of the best beginner slopes in the French Alps and with over 300 days of sunshine each year.
It is highly likely that you’ll catch the resort basking in sunshine! Above this a vast network of steeper reds and blacks can be found, including the mighty Sarenne – Europe’s longest – which plunges down almost 2000 vertical metres from the summit at Pic Blanc.

Pros and cons
- Extensive ski area and a lot of sunny slopes
- Fantastic gentle area for beginners
- Lively village and a lot to do away from the slopes
-
Sunny aspect can cause runs to get slushy
-
Steeper runs are high up and close in bad, windy weather
-
Some parts of the village are a decent walk away from the main lifts
On the Slopes
Alpe d’Huez is somewhat spread out, with the centre extending over quite a large area – but a recently constructed gondola linking it up has helped with access. Another hub can be found at Les Bergers, where there are some large apartment blocks and a secondary centre with its own shops, bars and restaurants.
Alternatively you can base yourself in one of the smaller villages linked to the main area – including Vaujany, Oz en Oisans, Villard Reculas and Auris en Oisans. Immediately above the village lies one of the best learning areas in France.
Gentle greens, served by a fleet of fast chairs and chondolas, as well as numerous drags and rolling carpets make this an excellent area for beginners. Intermediates will enjoy the long, cruisey blues down from Marmottes and the Alpette area above Vaujany is often quieter and holds on to better snow.
For more advanced skiers and boarders, there is a bit of a reliance on the top of the mountain being open. But when it is there are some great long reds for an on piste blast and of course the lengthy Sarenne is an epic groomed run. If there has been fresh snow head to the Tunnel run (it should hopefully have filled in the biggest of the bumps) or the Combe Charbonnière.
Alpe d'Huez Resort
There are two resort centres in Alpe d’Huez. The main village is the bustling hub and is home to much of the accommodation, some seriously lively bars and a number of excellent restaurants specialising in local French food. Les Bergers is a good alternative, with its own centre and a great selection of great value, self catered accommodation.
If you’re looking for a quieter stay or to stay in a chalet, then Vaujany is perhaps a better option, as is the small village of Villard_Reculas.
Off the slopes, the resort prides itself on offering a multitude of winter activities. The outdoor ice rink is possible, as are the cross country and winter walking trails. There is also a huge outdoor swimming pool that is open throughout the winter.

Updated 04/03
After the madness of the last few weeks – which has seen large amounts of snowfall combined with quickly rising temperatures – things are settling down over the French Alps. Sun through the early part of this week gives way to cloud and overcast conditions, which will help elevate temperatures as warmth is trapped below this cloud cover.
The freezing line will climb from around 1,500m to the mid-2000s, entering a spring-like freeze thaw pattern overnight and throughout the day. The freezing line will peak at 2,500m before, on average, dropping again into the weekend.
The long term forecast will see a flurry of snowfall into the beginning of next week, followed by fine, dry and bright conditions as high pressure moves over the region.
