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.

Snow Overview - France (snow news updated 31-Jan-2012)

Heavy snowfall returned to almost all our featured French resorts over the weekend. Cauterets (75/215cm) in the Pyrenees enjoyed 50cm of new snow on Sunday 29th January and Les Deux Alpes (90/300cm) received a whopping 70cm on Saturday 28th January. However, on Monday 30th January, the resort experienced low cloud cover which created poor visibility, but there were 43 lifts open. This theme was common all over France on Monday and although only a few resorts received fresh snow on Monday, the cloud cover combined with the low temperatures means further snowfall could be on the way. The southern French resorts also welcomed fresh snowfall over the weekend. This dramatically improved the pistes as it had been sometime since it had last snowed in the area. For example, Isola 2000 (45/79cm) received a respectful 20cm on Sunday 29th January and it continued to snow lightly in Foux d'Allos (55/85cm) on Monday.

European Weather Outlook

Cloudy and snowy skies are expected to loiter over the vast majority of European resorts over the coming days although only a light level of snowfall, around 1-2cm each day, is anticipated throughout the week. Sunshine is then expected to make a come back for the vast majority of resorts by the end of this week or the start of next week. The southern French Alpine resort of Isola 2000 however could receive up to 27cm of fresh snow on Tuesday 31st January, bucking the trend of just a dusting. The other weather news of note is that temperatures are set to drop, getting below -20C in many locations by the end of this week, so make sure you have some nice warm layers to put on.
