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.

Very snow sure due to it's height and has a lot of lifts which generally move you around the mountain very efficiently. It is quite spread out though with certain lifts required to access whole areas which can create a bottleneck at busy times. Lots of options for confident skiers higher up with some decent, although often quite busy, gentler slopes leading back the main village.

The resort was huge, so everyday for 5 days you can explore new runs. The runs were always groomed with plenty of snow. Outside of skiing, there is an abundance of extra activities such as an ice cave, sledge on rails and ice skating. I really lovely resort with a warm atmosphere.

Alp dHuez was great for families and beginner skiers/snowboarders - plenty of easily accessible green runs with lots of kids runs too.
ESF instructor (Jean Pascal) was fantastic and a great help, making the holiday even more enjoyable

Hi All,

I traveled to Alpe de huez from 26th dec 2024 - 2nd jan 2025. The weather we had was stunning and perfect blue sky and sunny, and plenty of snow. This was my first time in the french alpes and I havent got nothing bad in perticular to say about the beutiful resort. Other than the food was expensive as a average price of a pint was 8 and fairly simple food was also expensive for its price. Also the queues for any slope were really big and a wait time for a slope was at a average of 20minutes for the bigger slopes. Other than that the resort was amazing the staff were very friendly and helpful, The party bars were great something you cant miss whilst your there if your a party person. Having this being my first time I give it a solid 4.5 stars as a overall rating.

We had a fantastic experience in Alpe DHuez it has south facing slopes so meant we had plenty of sunshine in Feb time! We experienced a great ammount of snow on the slopes as has some of the highest peaks in France. Great for skiers of all abilities and plenty of accommodation that has ski in ski out. I would recommend to families as has some great beginner slopes and an easily accessible ski school. I thought it has lots of chalets and hotels at a reasonable price in comparison to other French ski resorts.

Great resort with loads of runs. Covers everything from beginners to advanced. Not too many off piste opportunities however without getting a guide.

Great location for skiers with kids the ski schools are great and close enough to all the main lifts there's plenty of decent slopes around all well groomed early on in the day and some good technical sections higher up. The apres ski is brilliant lots of bars and restaurants all over and the town has a real nice buzz about it. Highly recommend

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

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.

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.

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.
