Alpe d’Huez is a major resort in Isère, France, set on a south-facing plateau in the Oisans mountains. The linked Alpe d’Huez Grand Domaine Ski offers around 250km of pistes across Alpe d’Huez, Oz, Vaujany, Auris and Villard-Reculas. Terrain is broad and accessible, with very good beginner zones, long intermediate cruisers and enough steeper runs to interest advanced skiers. The resort’s altitude and extensive lift network help preserve decent snow conditions through much of the winter. The village feels lively and practical, with apartment blocks, hotels, sunny terraces and a busier atmosphere than many traditional mountain villages. It is best known for the 16km Sarenne run, one of the world’s longest black-marked descents, and for its unusually high number of sunshine hours.
