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.

Enjoyed skiing here last year. Nice pistes and quiet queues. Wouldn't call it the best in the alps but costs are usually very reasonable.

Such a great resort for all abilities. The lifts have a choice of gondolas and chairs. There are loads of fantastic runs. It's a great resort for progression, little parks and big parks. Apres ski is great! Powder days are incredible here when you get them!

Just got back after being there a week, skiing with my sister who hasnt skied for 2 years and me who hasnt skied in 9 years. Its a great resort for all with lots of greens, blues, reds and blacks as well as off Piste. Looked after the slopes and town 24/7. Mum and dad didnt ski and was still plenty for them to do. Lots of run options so you dont get bored and everyone was so friendly. Lifts were incredibly efficient with most the chair lifts having the options of taking a gondola instead. A resort that really caters to all abilities

Great medium size ski resort. Longest black run in France (Sarenne) is great fun! Recommend skiing out to all the little towns at the edges of the ski area

Great resort for beginners due to the bowl layout, but great options for more advanced too. Almost guaranteed sun, clues in the name!

Enjoyed my week here, lots of variety for run types. Some more secluded spots to explore as well with quieter villages and cafes if you want to escape the main resort area.

Loved it! Had a great variety of fun runs with different obstacles like half pipes, tunnels and pipes, and plenty of more technical and challenging runs.

Brilliant and varied resort with great Apres options. Theres a huge range of runs with miles of Pistes and excellent off piste options. Its also significantly cheaper than many other French resorts with the price of apres and mountain restaurants feeling significantly more reasonable than the more famous resorts.

Great resort for many levels, many apres options. Sizeable and great to explore. Green and blue runs fun even for more experienced skiing. Off piste great quality. Decent priced pints just outside of main skiing area into the town.

Perfect resort for all groups. Lovely village with places to eat/drink/relax. Huge ski range from beginners to expert and covering a huge territory. Long relaxing runs into Vaujanay or challenge yourself down the Signal run or the Tunnel!

At a peak of 3300m, with 100kms of ski runs, a Folie Deux and challenging runs for all abilities, Alpe Dhuez has got everything youd want

Nice high altitude resort with some epic black runs and huge cable cars. Take a helicopter ride to the other side of the mountain and ski Les Deux Alpes for the day.

I did a ski season here and absolutely adored it, the slopes are gorgeous and because they are south facing they catch so much sun! Perfect for Easter skiing.

Went for New Years Eve so conscious that this would be a busy time for any resort but the queues here were absolutely ridiculous. Not enough lift infrastructure for the people in the resort. The skiing felt slightly limited and even the serene run was a disappointment.
Took a helicopter to the neighbouring les duex alpes for 2 days and had much more fun. No issue with queue, very impressive lifts and cheaper to eat and drink out. Wouldnt return to alpe d Heuz.

Had a great time as a group of 10 for New Years. The resort has a great mix of runs from beginner slopes (which are free to use) to more challenging runs such as the longest black in Europe. Covers multiple areas so a range of runs and lift access is great to these varied areas. Good range off piste also availble, we had a powder day on our final day which was amazing!Apres Ski is also good, has a Folie Douce up the mountain and a great number of bars in town. Including Moose Bar which is a key Apres play from 4-9pm. There is a variety of restaurants around town from classic alpine to Italian and also a new market hall which is a good option for big groups!

Went here last year with my girlfriend and 5 of our friends and it was a trip to remember. 5 days out skiing with great instructors who got us on our feet quickly so we could enjoy our first time skiing with a short amount of time there.

5 stars.

I enjoyed our holiday here but people were rude, arrogant and bargy. Lots of people and notably youngsters trying to queue jump. We have been skiing as a couple and a family for over 20 years and never known anything like it. Unsafe skiing and riding - people on slopes that werent their level and unsafe behaviour. I wasnt overly impressed with the French ski school either stopping in the middle of the slopes, boarders under instruction stopping at key junctions and ski instructors with no helmets on. Not an example we want for our children. We like France but wont be skiing here again - back to the discipline of the Austrians/Germans for us. As experienced skiers we didnt feel safe here. Lots of idiots out of control.

Great experience for beginners, only a few blue runs and lots of red/ black runs. Very high pistes so great for snow. I found the resort to be more reasonable than other French ski resorts, lots of accommodation to suit the budget and great options for places to eat/ apres ski in the evening.
