Sunny and lively, the Alpe d'Huez resort, (nicknamed the l’île au Soleil), faces due south to the magnificent panorama of the Ecrins.

The Alpe d'Huez ski area culminates at an altitude of 3,300 metres at the top of Pic Blanc, the high altitude guarantees snow cover for the 3,000 hectares of the area. The area is divided into 245 km of slopes of all levels, over 2210 meters of vertical drop, and 800 skiable hectares so that you can discover the entire area and enjoy the breathtaking panorama offered by the massif.

There is a gentle drop in altitude at the bottom of the slopes and the area has green and blue runs to promote gentle learning of skiing for beginners and those continuing on their progress within ability levels. For thrill-seekers, the black runs, accessible from the Pic Blanc cable car or with the new Les Marmottes III gondola, will allow you to apply a more technical approach to maximise your ski challenge.
