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.

We were a party of mixed standard skiers including children under 7. Weather was great runs were Wake well prepared and fairly quiet. Mountain restaurants were excellent although not cheap. Overall a great holiday.

Lots of slopes accessible from the DMC lift.
If one area is busy you can easily find a quieter one.
Lots to cover in one week. Suitable slopes for all ages and skills.
Wish it was cheaper, but same thoughts for all ski resorts.

Would highly recommend coming here.

Great for all levels of skiers! From very easy wide pistes to highly challenging long slopes. Also quite a few off piste spots in this area; Some steep couloirs but also tricky tree lines. Unfortunately, lift queues can get very long in this area.

Quiet pistes, efficient lifts and a lot of sun! Good variation of pistes to be enjoyed by all levels with a good variation of challenging pistes for more advanced skiers.The inclusion of being able to ski at the neighbouring Les Deux Alpe with your pass at no extra cost is a great bonus giving you a huge range to explore, far more than you could manage in a week!

On average an easier resort than others. Huge expanses of greens on the lower slopes make it good for beginners and the reds and blacks are much easier than those in other resorts so intermediates can push themselves. Probably is a little lacking if youre looking for a lot of very technical runs especially if the tunnel is closed

The resort was big and had lots to offer. The ski area isnt huge but enough for one week of ski. There was a lot more red and black runs than blue so for more advanced skiers. All food was great plenty of on piste options. Friendly staff everywhere.

Slopes are great for all levels. For the more advanced there is areas to test your abilities too. Very family friendly with fun runs that everyone can enjoy. Great apres from folie up the top and our favourite Moosebar down the bottom. Plenty of nice places to dine out; across the slopes and throughout the town which vary in cost. When we did get a good day of powder it was great and the resort helped you enjoy it
