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.

Getting to Alpe d’Huez

Grenoble and Chambery airports are both between an hour and a half and two hours away from the resort. Lyon is around two hours away, whilst the trip from Geneva takes two and a half hours.

Shared transfers and public transport options are available too.

Grenoble airport: 1.5 hours
Chambery airport: 1.5 hours
Lyon airport: 2 hours
Geneva airport: 2.5 hours
Calais: approximately 10 hours driving (578 miles)

Snow Overview

France

Updated 02/05

Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.

Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions

Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
