Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine Ski Area

A vast and diverse ski area spanning over 250 km of interconnected pistes, making it one of the largest in France. It offers terrain for all skill levels, from gentle green and blue runs (totaling approx. 135 km) ideal for beginners and families, to challenging red (approx. 70 km) and black runs (approx. 45 km) for experienced skiers. The resort is famous for 'La Sarenne,' the world's longest continuously black run at 16 km, descending from Pic Blanc (3,330m) down to the valley. The area also includes several dedicated snowparks and fun zones, such as the Alpe d'Huez Snowpark (located at Les Jeux), the Marcel's Farm (themed fun slope), and boardercross tracks. Freeride zones are accessible from higher lifts, offering ungroomed powder opportunities for advanced skiers, always with caution and appropriate safety gear. Lift passes vary, with a 6-day adult pass typically ranging from €300-€350 during peak season. Open generally from early December to late April.
