Alpe
d'Huez
Enjoying
a stunning location on a south-facing plateau, high above
the valleys below, this is a resort ideal for families and
skiers of all abilities. With excellent nursery slopes, the
skiing gets more difficult as it rises up to Grandes Rousses
and Pic Blanc at 3300m. Two black runs down the Sarenne glacier
are particularly renowned - one a steep mogul slope and the
other an incredible 16km trail into the Sarenne gorge. Off
the slopes, there is a vibrant centre. The Visalp pass covers
Alpe d'Huez and 6 other resorts and gives free access
to the swimming pool, ice rink, Palais des Sports (fitness
centre, tennis, squash, wall climbing), and shuttle buses.
