What Skiers Say About Alpe d'Huez

Alpe d'Huez attracts a broad range of skiers from beginners to experts, with users frequently noting the extensive green and blue runs that make it particularly suitable for learners and families. The resort's high altitude and sunny aspect are regularly mentioned, though this can lead to variable snow conditions lower down and slushy afternoons in spring. Multiple reviewers highlight the long runs, especially the Sarenne black, and the efficient lift system connecting to satellite villages like Vaujany and Oz. Après-ski receives mixed feedback, with Folie Douce praised but some users noting limited options and early closing times. Food quality both on-mountain and in town is consistently well-regarded, though prices are noted as typical for a French resort.

Just returned from Alpe D’Huez and we had the most amazing ski holiday.

Fabulous resort with everything really close, and lots to do.

We didnt have any fresh snow. But the slopes were worked on a groomed all through the nights and early into the mornings to maintain good snow standards

The resort was busy, but not too busy and cues moved quick.

We stayed at Grande Rousse hotel spa and the stay was beautiful. Gorgeous hotel, helpful staff and great location.

Will definitely be returning ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First time skiing. We had a beautiful chalet that was ski in/ski out. A good lesson and there was a huge range of slopes and a lot to explore so quieter areas when you needed. The apres was boss and the local town has some good food, drink and spa options. I loved it and would go again. Just pretty expensive

Visited as part of a large company trip. Overall the weather massively let us down but could see the potential of the report. Easy travel around the resort incline a cable from hotel to lifts. Large ski area and plenty apres options. The town offered plenty of alternative activities, including an ice rink, outdoor lido, plenty of shops and great food options. Saloon after a cold day on the slopes was fantastic!

Les deux Alpes is a nice place. The longest slope is famous but actually quite disappointing if snow conditions are not perfect or when it gets busy. The snowpack was really good. Overall a very good ski especially for families.

Snow was weak initially but filled out and was groomed quickly. Good availability of runs if you planned lifts well to link runs. A few too many traverse runs. Black run from the top was heavy moguls which weaker skiers had a real hard time with which clogged up the slope. When you got through it was beautiful and long sweeping blacks/ reds with good speed and conditions.

Unfortunately the lack of snow in Alpe d’Huez over the last few months has affects the resort - with less runs open - skiers and snowboards are bottlenecks down the same runs, causing icy conditions and very busy pistes. The resort however is lovely and I can’t wait to go back when there is a bit more powder.

A great resort for levels of skiing and snowboarding. A Glacier so snow guaranteed. The Folie Douce provides excellent apres on the mountain and the selection of bars in resort provides great evening entertainment. The live music and staff in the Underground bar were excellent . Plenty of variety of eateries can highly recommend le Cremaillere in the old town of resort. In all a great resort for family and friends of all abilities and ages

Apres ski was fairly quiet. Lots of dog mess on the ground beneath the melted snow. Good lifts, not a lot of queues. Could have been more festive considering we were there for Christmas

The whole trip was lovely, skiing was great I have been before and overall one of my favourite resorts. The weather was consistent sun for us with a night of snow to top up. Food and accommodation were no more expensive than other resorts.

A really good resort with great on piste skiing for people of all levels. We have been a number of times, and this time there wasn’t enough snow, but it was approaching the end of the season, but usually the resort is fantastic

As a friend group of 4 who ski and snowboard Alpe d’Huez has been perfect for our different skill levels and abilities.

We stayed over New Years and the town offers a great selection of Restaurants, Bars, and clubs which we all enjoyed.

Would 100% recommend to all levels of Skiers and snowboarders as there are so many runs to choose from. We particularly enjoyed Marcells farm, it’s super fun!

Alp D'Huez offers slopes for all abilities. As a beginner it had a lot of baby slopes, greens and blues.
Lessons were very helpful.
Lifts were great and easy to take.
Lots of amenities everywhere.
