Are there cheaper, smaller passes?
Yes — there are cheaper, smaller ski pass options for Auris‑en‑Oisans instead of buying the full Alpe d’Huez Grand Domaine pass:
🎫 Local / Smaller Passes Available
- Auris‑only lift passes: You can buy a pass that gives access just to the Auris ski sector (Auris Express, Louvets, Fontfroide, Lombards, Maronne, Sures, Col, Forêt and Piégut lifts) without upgrading to the full Grand Domaine — these are cheaper than the full area passes.
- Beginner passes: There are special beginner‑oriented passes (like a “première glisse” or initiation pass) for very low‑cost access to beginner terrain and lifts in Auris.
- Daily Pass Variations: You can choose a day pass just for the Auris area at significantly lower prices than the full Grand Domaine pass.
- Pedestrian / non‑ski options: Pedestrian passes let you ride some lifts to enjoy views or mountain restaurants without skiing — also cheaper.
💡 How they compare to the big pass
The full Alpe d’Huez Grand Domaine ski pass is more expensive because it unlocks nearly all 250 km of pistes across multiple sectors, while the Auris‑only and beginner passes are tailored for smaller terrain and lower daily costs.
