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.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Alpe d'Huez and had an incredible experience! The resort itself is absolutely stunning, offering a wide variety of slopes suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned pros. The breathtaking views of the Alps were a constant highlight, especially from the top of the mountain.What really stood out to me, however, was how family-friendly the resort is. There are plenty of activities for kids and families, from ski schools to toboggan runs and even an ice skating rink. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect destination for a family getaway.The hotels in Alpe d'Huez were top-notch, with many offering ski-in, ski-out access, so you can hit the slopes without any hassle. The accommodations were comfortable, modern, and well-equipped, ensuring a relaxing stay after a day on the mountain. The dining options were also great, offering a mix of local Alpine dishes and international cuisine, which made everyone in our group happy.Overall, Alpe d'Huez provides a fantastic mix of excellent skiing, family-oriented activities, and outstanding hotel accommodations. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable mountain holiday!

We had an excellent holiday at Alpes dHuez in spite of some less than ideal snow conditions.The resort is extensive, with runs / pistes for all abilities, however conditions were icy with hard snow whilst we were there. Whilst we had an enjoyable experience, we felt that the resort would not be as enjoyable for novice skiers/snowboarders given the difficulty and condition of the green slopes.The resort has excellent amenities for families, our 3-year old had a blast at ski-school, and there are plenty fun routes dedicated to young skiers / snowboarders

A perfect resort for families as the grade of piste gets harder the higher you go up the bowl. Plenty of park skiing with jumps for all, even a bit of night skiing. Apres ski is chilled, there is also a pool and ice rink.Lots of variety in the restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets.

It was my first time at a ski resort after having only done indoor lessons before. There was a great variety of slopes for all levels as well as jump parks and mini slalom courses to have a go on. The queues for the chair lifts were never too bad although some of the green runs could get a bit congested at times. There is good choice for apres bar, La folie douce was of course my favourite! There was a range of accomodation, ours was ski in ski out which was really helpful and we enjoyed some meals out at restaurants as well. Strongly recommend La pomme de pin for French food! Would definitely come back to alpe dhuez

Alpe d'Huez is a beautiful resort in the French Alps with plenty of access to great skiing for all levels. The village offers all you could need in terms of shops, restaurants and bars. The ski school is also great, as a beginner myself coming to the sport in adulthood, I had a great time each morning learning techniques in a fun and safe environment, whilst my partner checked out the more challenging slopes. We stayed in self catering accommodation and enjoyed beautiful wintery views from our balcony each morning. It was bliss.

I have been here over 7 times from when I was 12 to now 21. It has a variety of runs ranging from long wide blues to steep reds and blacks. It is home to the famous sirenne run, although not as long as stated is still and exciting run.

Good resort, nice and high so pretty snow sure however on my last visit the sledge piste was closed and the snow was pretty poor. Above the tree line so no tree skiing.Great wide open piste with lots of off piste just off the groomers.

We stayed in Vaujany , a great little village connected to main resort via a huge gondola. Slopes are many and varied, too many for us to ski it all, and high altitude up to 3300. Lovely mountain restaurants and good vibes at la folie douce.Excellent resort for all round snow, pistes, and speed ski. Good choice of accommodation and reasonable prices to be found.

Have skied here lots both as a tourist as a student living locally. Great resort for beginner to advanced level, with stuff for all.Be wary of business and life queens especially in Bristol school holiday time and aim to get to lifts early. I would advise staying in the main town of alpe dHuez if you want to be close to night life and bars, other smaller towns part go resort are nice but you need to get the last ski lift back or bus back. Eating out can tricky if you havent booked so would advise doing that else you may struggle. There are variety of supermarkets so self catering is an option. Overall, good ski resort especially for mixed ability groups.

We loved Alpe dHuez! We went with a group of 10 (both skiers and snowboarders). You are spoiled with the variety of slopes and the amount of them. Apres ski at La Folie Douce was one of the best apres ski locations I visited.
