Welcome to Alpe d'Huez Ski Resort

Vast high-altitude ski area
Good for all skiing abilities and families
Lively après scene

France’s Alpe d’Huez ski resort welcomes skiers with heaps of slopes for all abilities, complete with a fun après-ski scene made for serious after-slope boogies.

Alpe d’Huez ski holidays are great for families, snowboarders, and expert snow-goers alike, blending wide, cruisy pistes with snow parks, boardercross zones, powdery off-piste trails and raw, untracked gullies galore. The slick lift system quickly transports you up the mountain, so you can enjoy high-altitude pistes reaching up to 3,330m across the 165km Grand Domaine ski area.

If you love long descents, make a beeline for La Sarenne, a 16km run that drops 2000m from the summit of Pic Blanc all the way back to Alpe d’Huez for celebratory beers - cheers!

Best time to ski in Alpe d'Huez

To make the most of festive family activities, be sure to book an Alpe d’Huez ski holiday in December. Or, for a fun-filled half-term holiday with the kids, there’s usually lots happening on the bunny slopes in February. Bag a bargain in January to make the most of quiet pistes and restaurants, or for longer days and warmer springtime skiing, the late-season weeks are ideal. Love music? Festival-goers should check out the Tomorrowland Winter Festival in March.
