The Skiers' Guide to Alpe d'Huez

One of the best family friendly resort in France. With a great selection of beginner, intermediate and expert runs theres something for everyone. With its satellite resorts you can take your whole family on a proper alpine tour. Masterclass ski school and Malcom Moore snow boarding for your lessons. Indiana for a post ski beer in the old town. Underground for an evening partying with live music most nights.

You will not be disappointed

Amazing resort for:
1. Huge ski area for all types of abilities - amazing variety of runs and stunning views
2. Lift access - lots of lifts on the piste and through the village
3. Accommodation - great variety
4. Apre - great variety of restaurants and bars

La Sarenne was so beauty but very difficult. The tunnel hill was awesome too. Apres ski was well worth

Love Alpe Dhuez - great on and off the slopes. Great family options as well as varied options for a range of skiing levels.

A great resort with a large ski area to explore. Some of the area isn't that well connected so can take a bit of planning to get around, but worth doing.

Apres Ski is good fun - we particularly enjoyed Moose bar in town with its Austrian themed apres. Prices definitely more affordable than some of the big French resorts like 3 Vallees and Val d'isere.

We went towards the end of the season in a non catered chalet. There were a lot of different accommodation options to
Suit all budgets. Many resultants in the town and on the mountain to chose from at a reasonable price. Slopes were well groomed and a variety for all ski types. The ability to travel to different mountains meant it was easy to find quiet runs and try some new ones.

Great accommodation and snow even for the end of the season. Great runs too. Would recommend to anyone of any level

Alpe dHuez is a great budget option and good for families. Its slightly lacking the après ski atmosphere that other resorts in the Alpes have. There are some good quality restaurants, but options at the top of the mountain seem limited. Theres plenty of areas to help children learning to ski. There are lots of affordable accommodation options. The ski areas get a lot of sun which is lovely.

Having spent a full season in Val DIsère, I can confidently say it is an amazing resort. The après is top tier thanks to Cocoricos, Folie Douce, Petit Danois and Dicks Tea Bar. The pistes and amenities are perfect for learning to ski at a high level. The eateries up the mountain are all good food and good quality. Up the Solaise lift you also have the refuge de solaise which is amazing - the spa is 100% worth a visit. The off piste is good too and overall the ski area you can access, including Tignes as well, is fantastic.

Lovely resort, ski school was incredibly helpful and understanding. Après ski was okay, good vibes but nothing special.

Brilliant skiing for what was open, but unfortunately a lot of very skiable runs were closed! restaurants and cafes up the mountain were lovely but definitely on the more expensive side

Good resort, Hiddent Gem.
But smaller than others. Good for families, not great nightlife apart from a couple of bars. Easy access and great views. Made for all levels and all types of skiing. Off piste may be more limited but excellent for on slope skiing. Town is very big, make sure you stay near the slopes to avoid long walks.

Amazing resort, great slopes and great investment into the area, love it! Will defo return again!

Food and drink are very good for those who enjoy apres and experience French delicacies

Fantastic resort for someone learning to ski. As a new skier myself, had a great variety with different runs. Big resort with loads to explore and a lovely little town at the bottom. Definitely will be back again

I had a great time with ten of my uni friends, we were a group with half knowing how to ski and the other half not. However Alp dhuze was perfect as it has such a mix of slopes and loads of them! If youre a confident skiing theres a lot of great slopes and the wall!

I went recently and loved it! The top point of the resort is high and has a long black (serene) running from the top all the way down. For the first 2 days there was a storm and a lot of lifts closed due to the wind, however I still managed to have a good day on the lower off piste slope going round the huez lift. Also, this left very nice snow conditioned for the rest of the week when lifts opened. Everyone in bars were very friendly welcoming and had live bands on. Different bars available for your choice.

Ski lifts do not get too busy, and there is a huge area of runs, especially some nice long blues that transition into greens and take you down to the town and Apres. Good selection of small supermarkets and little restaurants, including multiple nice fondue places. Stayed in Ours Blanc hotel but would not recommend, the standard of accommodation was not high and it is a long distance to the ski lift.

Lovely classic French ski resort. Lots of terrain for all levels. Especially good for beginners, but also some amazing black runs when the snows good. Some of the lift infrastructure is getting a bit old and there are some real bottlenecks (especially the DMC lift) during school holidays.

Great resort set in a lovely town thats really accessible. Theres plenty to do away from skiing and the runs themselves are fab with lots of options and wide runs.

Alpe Dhuez provided me and my two friends with a brilliant skiing holiday.
Before the trip, I was an advanced skier and both of my friends were beginners. They arrived with no expectations and left in love with skiing and eager to return.

Ski school was great at both beginner and advanced levels. The range of runs was exceptional and the lifts were efficient and didnt have terrible queues. I particularly liked the snowcross track where you can race down a designated track. Also the ski area of the domaine is vast so there are plenty of runs to keep you busy.

One massive part of our trip was the food on the slopes. Loads of options to eat lunch or go for a drink after skiing. Many with scenic views perfect to stop at.

Overall we had an amazing time at this resort, though one thing to pay attention to when booking is the location of your accommodation. We stayed in Vaujany a smaller village still classed as Alpe Dhuez, however it was quite far from the main Alpe Dhuez centre so our evenings were quieter than we perhaps would have like. Despite this, we would return to the resort, just maybe stay in a slightly different location.
