The Skiers' Guide to Alpe d'Huez

A great resort for skiers of all levels with a large variety of pistes and off piste options. Fantastic for families with plenty of ski schools and green and blue runs for the kids to hone their skills. Also lots of entertainment options other than skiing. A major plus was the sunshine - this resort really lives up to its reputation as the island in the sun!
We didn’t get the best snow conditions but there were still plenty of options at higher altitudes which were accessed easily by the efficient lift systems.

I love the varied terrain at Alpe d'Huez. The ski area is huge and hard to get bored of. There's some really good options for ski touring, especially whilst the pic blanc lift is closed after being damaged in Storm Benjamin. It's often busy in the beginner bowl near Alpe d'huez but it's easy to escape the crowds over in Signal de l'Homme or down La Fare. And the Sarenne run is a classic for a reason. We stayed in Vaujany which is smaller and less lively but still plenty of options for a place to have an evening drink.

Great resort, plenty of ski acreage, ski in ski out options available. I will return with how well the resort is kept and the apres is great.

Really great mix of runs although some blues rival the blacks and vice versa…depending on weather conditions i.e a steep blue when it’s icy is toughhh for an intermediate who would otherwise be comfortable on reds. The food and drinks across the slopes was amazing, not a single bad meal. Our catered chalet was fab!

Great runs, loved the views! The resort was absolutely beautiful, and the town was as well. The powder wasn’t great but it never is in a lot of places in the alps now.

Absolutely loved my time here, right amount of slopes to have different stuff to do as someone at a good level. Incredible apres, great food options.

Absolute amazing experience the resort is fantastic I recommend for everyone who loves snow sports to visit.

Stayed in Flaine. Was so pretty well maintained sloaps. Apres was ok but is great for families and people who want to focus on skiing

It was a really nice place to stay and to ski. On days when there was less so you were able to get much higher very quickly so there was still quality skiing. Bars and restaurants were nice and not ridiculously expensive

Great place for shredding, especially for beginners. Ski schools were so helpful and everyone was so kind to beginners.

So good and lots of accom near the slopes but if you want a cheaper on get the bus to the slopes and it’s so much cheaper!

I have been to this resort 3 times now, I have learnt how to ski here and find the resort easy to navigate. It’s great for all levels. There are many places to rent equipment and many places to eat out. The restaurants on the mountain serve delicious food and finally got to experience La folly and ski back down with confidence.

We had a great time at Alpe de huez
The perfect balance of skiing, partying and leisure.Our hotel was incredible!

Choice of slop difficulty was brilliant for our group with mixed abilities. We would definitely go back.

Great for all levels of ability with excellent aprez. Conditions were excellent all week with the altitude being high. Would definitely go back.
