Chalet Alana

The main ski area of Les Bergers on the East side of resort is just a 300m (approx) stroll from the chalet and the ski school meeting point is even closer. There is a small selection of shops and bars in Les Bergers, or the main resort centre with its lively nightlife, host of restaurants and range of après ski activities is only 500m (approx) away.

Chalet Alana offers exactly what a traditional family chalet should – a spacious lounge/dining area, a large open fire, good sized bedrooms and all with en suite facilities. The décor in the living room is charming with many locally sourced antiquities. This is an attractive and generously apportioned chalet which when combined with a south facing balcony to catch the late afternoon sun makes this a very welcome chalet to return to after a great day on the slopes.

Facts

Alpe d'Huez Resort Info

Alpe d'Huez skiing

Alpe d'Huez ski resort offers something to challenge all levels of skier. Two of the biggest attractions for the more advanced skier are the 2230m vertical drop and a 16km black run. Off-piste skiing is also excellent, with decent snowfalls, exceptional scenery and sunnier-than-average weather. Boarders and freestyle skiers are also catered for with a fairly decent snowpark and a funpark for those starting out.

Alpe d'Huez ski resort

With development into a ski holiday destination beginning in the late '60s, Alpe d'Huez did for a long time remain a largely French resort, although it is now welcoming more and more British skiers. Alpe d'Huez still draws a large weekend crowd, with its own altiport and Grenoble only 90mins away. Restaurants are of a good standard both on and off the mountain, and nightlife is ever improving with more and more bright young things gracing these parts.

Overall, Alpe d'Huez is very good, particularly for families who want to eat well, enjoy great scenery and have access to a ski domain to suit all levels.
