L’Alpe d’Huez Ski Map
L’Alpe d’Huez is one of the French Alps’ most iconic resorts, known for its vast sunny slopes, reliable snow, and incredible variety of terrain. With wide-open beginner pistes, legendary long descents, and high-altitude glacier skiing, it suits everyone from first-timers to advanced skiers chasing big mountain thrills. The famous Sarenne run — the longest black piste in Europe — is a bucket-list experience for confident skiers.
Snowboarders love the resort for its modern lift system, spacious bowls, snowparks, and natural freeride terrain, while families appreciate the excellent ski schools, gentle learning zones, and lively but relaxed village atmosphere. Add in plenty of mountain restaurants and stunning views of the Oisans massif, and you get a resort that delivers both adventure and comfort.
