Alpe d'Huez Reviews & Ratings

Lovely resort great selection of slopes good for family or young groups. The selection of restaurants and places to eat where great and the apres ski was outstanding

I was in the Alps in March – the weather was absolutely beautiful, and music was playing everywhere, creating an incredible energy. There were plenty of ski runs and quick access to the slopes. Parking was never an issue, and the rental equipment was excellent.

If your looking for something that covers all abilities then this is the perfect resort. Lost of green and blues but some great red and blacks in there for good measure

Went with a University society, had great fun there. Excellent black runs, enjoyable lifts, bars and plenty of places to explore! Good night life as well if you're looking for that. Have to be wary of low snowfall causing some of the runs to be less pleasant. But overall, great resort and would recommend!

Was a fatastic trip with my dad - lots of sunny, easy runs with fabulous apres to relax afterwards!!!

Incredible wide slopes, well groomed
Softer reds than other resorts.
Helicopter can take you to other resorts.

Was a lovely lovely place - would highly recommend it if you have beginner/ learner mates every other slope is a lovely long green or a cruisey blue

Amazing resort - would highly recommend as there is something for everyone! Food on the slopes was great.

Try the paragliding!!

Fantastic resort for all types of skiers, lots of groomers to have a go at for all levels, the Sarenne Black Run is a good challenge & shouldn’t be avoided by intermediate skiers, it’s only black because once your on it, you can’t get off it! More Red standard than Black. 16km in length. There’s also the tunnel run if you want a tougher challenge, worth having a go at, however, it is for more experienced skiers. Ski In/Out from our hotel was excellent the Odalys Prestige E’close Apart Hotel which was well located centrally both close to the slopes & the town centre, probably a 100m from the boot room/lockers to the Ski lift. I’d recommend booking your Evening Meals Les 2 Mules right next to the hotel was excellent, good quality food & service we went twice & was good value for money. smithy’s Tavern was a great sports bar with good pub food, we also had great meals at l’ Authentic & la Chalet du Per Sille. Overall a great holiday & would gladly return again.

What I love about this resort is the greens and blues are easy to get to. It’s a relatively pretty resort but functional. Bergers area is good for ski in ski out. Nice mix of people.

Have a full day on the sunny south facing slopes of Alpe D’Huez and be sure to get to the Folie Douce by 1530 latest to make the most of the cool vibe with live music, dancers, and great tunes suitable for all ages. Then head down the slope for your afternoon cake in the chalet, or squeeze in a few more runs before the lifts close.
The resort is great - go to the church on a Thursday evening for an organ concert - the architecture and acoustics are incredible. Also, La Pomme de Pin is great for traditional French food like Raclette and very cosy but book ahead if it’s the Seasonnaire’s night off (normally a Wednesday night). Enjoy!

Alpe d' huez has to be one of my favourite resorts, I've boarded in winter and mountain bike in the summer for many years . Winter , from solo skier to family or groups alpe d'huez has everything you need , with lift access to other ski areas such as Oz , Vaujany and Auris there is no shortage of groomed runs with the Sarenne black run .lifts are plentiful and have recently been upgraded with more added including a free lift from Aleamont . Eating out ranges from pizza to Michelin star restaurants with plenty of bars and restaurants on the mountain allowing you to stop refuel while enjoying the all day sun .
Three main stores stock everything you need to self cater with a larger store down in Bourg d Osains .Prices are on par with most resorts of this quality.
To sum up latge ski area with access to others
Ski passes are reasonably priced for the access they allow , Alpe d 'huez , Oz ,Vaujany, Auris and can be used in Les deux alpes a resort across the valley
Sunny weather on the whole
Friendly chilled vibe
Access ,mountain and in the town is very good and the layout is easy to navigate
Wide choice of places to eat every taste covered
I recommend Alpe d 'huez for a holiday I've been going regularly for the past 20 years winter and summer.

Great trip, highly recommend, lots of great snowboarding, on and off piste. Great ski schools etc. Lovely resort!

Strongly recommended. Stayed in Odelays which was superb. Long black runs great and fresh powder for the last two days making the off piste outstanding. Beautiful sunny days so slushy low down, particularly late afternoon but an epic week all round!

We went to Apple d’Huez with 6 of us (3 couples) and were immediately taken back with the beauty of the place! Something for everyone, very very good resultants ranging from a quick bite to lovely sit down high end places.

The snow was absolutely fantastic and perfect weather too, one day beautiful sun and the next would be a snow day, so we had a Constant top up of fresh powder.

The wide range of slopes to chose from was amazing, I’m sure it was over 250km of piste! The beginners slopes were fantastic as 4 of our party were new skiers, the had a few days on them so get their confidence up! And the blue/red and black runs were so much fun for me and my friend who could take them on!

All in all we would 100% recommend Alpe d’Huez to anyone wanting to go, perfect for everyone, party couple or families

Amazing place for a newbie skiier! Some great slopes and ski school was so helpful. Fab lunch spots and apres! Would recommend!

Visited Alpe d’Huez for the second time. Really like how easy it is to get around the town as well as accessing the ski lifts.
Good resort for beginners as lots of green runs, but equally good for blue, reds and blacks. Most lifts are fast and when we visited just after the French holidays there were no queues. Good places to eat and drink both on and off the slope. Favourite spot to stop for a drink on the slope is the The Spot.

Great runs really challenging if you want that or nice cruzy runs if you prefer. Great variety of runs, good selection of bars and restaurants.

Folie douce great fun, expensive beer but worth it! Tunnel slope to black off piste is unreal, beautiful weather this time of year and well posted slopes which have been mostly quiet

Gone there with my friends for 6 days. The slopes are amazing and many restaurant options. The spa and sauna is world-class and it is truly a relaxing place with so many slopes for different experience levels.
