Alpe d'Huez

Set up on the old Alpine pastures of the village of Huez nearly a century ago, the resort benefits from an ideal location which has earned it the nickname ‘the sun-kissed island’ in recognition of its wonderful sunshine, about 300 days a year according to the locals, a reputation happily confirmed by loyal visitors. Located only 60 km from Grenoble, l’Alpe d’Huez delights holidaymakers with its guaranteed snow on the high mountain plateau (at an altitude of 1860 m) thanks to a fleet of high-performance snow equipment.

From the top of the Pic Blanc glacier (3330 m), the third highest point in the Grandes Rousses Alpine range, the resort invites skiers to enjoy the numerous uninterrupted runs with generous snow, between sporty slopes and relaxing wooded paths. Ski aficionados may even enjoy their favourite pastime for a few days in summer on the Sarenne slope (an area approximately 10 km wide).
