Alpe d'Huez

Alpe d’Huez is known as ‘L’Île au Soleil’ and stands out significantly among the French Alps with over 300 days of sunshine a year. The sunny locations and wide sun terraces provide stunning panoramic views of the mountain ranges and create ideal conditions for both skiing and relaxation. The ski area offers more than 250 km of well-groomed slopes catering to all skill levels, making the destination appealing to both beginners and seasoned skiers. A definite highlight is La Sarenne – Europe’s longest black run at 16 km – which starts high up at Pic Blanc and offers a dramatic, uninterrupted descent through magnificent alpine terrain. Alpe d’Huez is also renowned as a highly family-friendly ski destination with dedicated children’s areas, safe family zones, and wide, accessible slopes that make it easy to ski together across skill levels. Off the slopes, cozy restaurants, cafes, and a relaxed après-ski culture with a distinctly French touch await. The destination also boasts a vibrant town life year-round, and when the snow melts, the area transforms into a haven for hiking, cycling, and nature experiences in an iconic alpine landscape.
