    Skiing in Alpe d’Huez

    When it comes down to the nitty-gritty of ski suitability, this resort is probably best for high level intermediate skiers, but novices and advanced skiers are very well catered for too. 

    This resort has a huge choice of nursery slopes and two vast, wide beginner’s areas where you can find your feet and practice your turns as a first timer. You’ll find one of these areas in the Bergers section of the village and the other at the first level of slopes serviced by the DMC gondola ̶ they’re accessed by various chair lifts and drag lifts which are free for beginners, so there’s no need to shell out for a pass until your technique improves and confidence builds. 

    Intermediate skiers are in their element here thanks to the aforementioned huge vertical runs available from the top of Le Pic Blanc. If you’re a capable intermediate who wants to clock up some vertical metres, there are several cracking runs to test your mettle, including the 2035 m descent to La Villette, the 2000 m drop to Oz-en-Oisans at 1330 m, and the 2205 m descent to L’Enversin d’Oz at 1125 m. 

    There’s 67 km of black pistes here across 16 groomed runs, so there’s plenty of provision for advanced skiers. Hop on the DMC jumbo gondola from the resort base, and you’ll reach the Pic Blanc summit via a second lift. You can take on the Sarenne Run from this launchpad ̶ at 16 km, it’s the longest black in the Alps, but it’s more of a marathon than a rollercoaster ride as half its length meanders along a riverside path. 

    Snow Conditions

    The high altitude resort is blessed with large amounts of natural snow and with the help of snow making facilities on most of its pistes snow coverage can be guaranteed throughout the season.
