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.

Great resort, not the biggest one around. Good quality of runs. And lots of fun activities to do. I would recommend to more beginner skiers.

Fabulous place to go with a big group or just on your own. Large selection of activities to take part in once the slopes are closed and also a night ski twice a week. Fine selection of slopes for all skill levels. The longest black run is quite the experience and leg burner but definitely an experience not to miss. The party life is pretty lively and theres a large range of food establishments and shops to browse.

I've been to Alpe D'huez many times of the years and it's still one of my favourite resorts, the family friendliness is really good and the slopes are well looked after. Ski schools are really helpful to all ages as well. Great place to meet people from all over too.

I would highly recommend Alpe D'huez to anyone interested in a ski/snowboard holiday.

Went there last year, lots of snow and was perfectly groomed very good ski lifts. The views were excellent and the sunrise was incredible. The only problems was the restaurants were a bit full but the food was very nice. Also, the Apres-ski was incredible.

A very quiet, welcoming resort, with a huge range of options for skiers of any skill level. Some of the best black runs in france and a large number of easier runs aswell. There is a little bit of everything and I will definitely be going back as soon as possible!

I went to Alpe dHuez october 2023 and found it great, it was when the resort was just opening so was full of powder and where it was pisted the slopes were crafted excellently.

There are runs for all difficulties and staying up the mountain meant that it was a rapid access to get up the mountain.

The resort is home to the longest black run in Europe which feels like a spiritual adventure transitioning from the towering peaks into the serene valleys only to be transported directly back to the main bowl.

The apres ski was great fun as well and the nighttime food and clubs were loads of fun, I couldnt have wanted more from a university trip.

Really family friendly compared to other resorts, ski school focussed around instructing children and those with little ski experience.

I went recently with my family and stayed with vip ski very last minute. There was so much snow and the resort handled it well with most of the runs staying open. The food we had was excellent and folie is always good fun. We didnt do ski school but everything looked organised and werent too many on the piste affecting others. Overall a great holiday

South facing slopes so you're in the sun all day. Not the biggest resort and you might want to bus it to another ski area if you've done everything.

Great for beginners, lots of short lifts close to resort centre with plenty of blues and greens leading into resort. Main lifts/gondolas in various places throughout resort so access is never far away from accommodation.

Great resort. Uplift system and queuing fast and effective. Good variety of runs. Expensive, but possible to slum it with mid price accommodation and some good takeaway options. Beautiful views. High altitude glacier skiing available.

Loads of slopes to satisfy all abilities with some really gentle slopes low down for beginners.

A large resort with a number of areas. The lifts network does a great job of letting you get around.

Lift passes are expensive, but it is a great area to ski.

Off the slopes, there's plenty to eat and drink, but can be a little costly.

This sunshine resort lives up to its name, fun for all the family as well as a huge playground of off piste skiing for the more adventurous. Great variety of restaurants with a new Japanese serving super ramen bowls on the run down to Oz. Tomorrow land is also held here each year adding an extra dramatic vision with slope side daytime dj concerts with amazingly constructed multiple stages.
Everyone is friendly and a great place for lunch after La Sarene is La Comb Haut best plate de jour on the mountain and if returning to the little resort of Villard Reculas do ski into Le Bergerie for a sundowner!

Ive done 5 weeks there over the past 3 years, really great place for group trips and has some fantastic runs, however snow quality can not be reliable and a lot of their best runs can be shut because of it.

Spent a week in ADH in January, excellent snow conditions and an awesome park. The shapers created some great jumps and also had a variety of rails.
Apres is kicking with a mix of venues, Live music at L'Underground, and great tunes from the resident DJ's at Smithy's.
Restaurant wise you need to book in advance, most of the good places are small and book out quickly!

A huge ski area, that is let down by long lines for gondolas, so unfortunately you'll spend most of the day in a queue if you're trying to get to the top.
But if you're happy spending a day on chairlifts, you can have a great day linking runs.
