ALPINE SkiING
Alpe d’Huez is one of the iconic ski areas of the Alps. Enjoy differences in altitude of up to 2,200 m, between the Pic Blanc (3,300 m) and Enversin d’Oz (1,100 m). Some iconic slopes such as the Sarenne, the longest in Europe, at a length of 16 km, or the Tunnel slope that crosses through the mountain (really!). The slopes wind across the varied terrain, through forests, across hilly plateaus and steep mountainsides, for a fun and diverse skiing experience.
And we haven’t even mentioned the fun areas with the oh so popular Marcel Farm slope!
Ski-TOURING
The Permanente du Radar is a special ski-touring slope with exceptional views, perfect for an introduction to ski-touring (Signal sector).
CROSS-COUNTRY SkiING
With 3 loops (blue and red) and 28 km of slopes, enjoy this varied cross-country skiing area, suitable for all levels of ability and all techniques (skating or alternative), far from the ski lifts.
WALKS AND SNOWSHOE HIKES
35 km of pedestrian trails for walks or snowshoe hikes, with or without a guide. These trails are clearly marked and dotted with benches. They will lead you far away from it all, to a place where the atmosphere and landscapes are… just magical!
