Overview
Offering an exceptional slopeside location, Au Chamois d’Or sits beside the DMC 1 lift, providing direct access to the extensive Alpe d’Huez ski area. From here, guests can easily reach the summit of Pic Blanc, explore a wide variety of runs, or venture further across the mountain towards neighbouring resorts such as Vaujany.
The hotel combines traditional alpine character with five-star comfort. Warm wood panelling, handcrafted furnishings and classic mountain décor create an elegant chalet atmosphere, while inviting lounges and open fireplaces add to the sense of warmth and relaxation.
After a day on the slopes, guests can unwind in the indoor pool, hot tub or wellness area before enjoying a drink on the spacious sun terrace. With panoramic mountain views and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect setting to soak up the scenery and share stories from the day’s adventures.

About Alpe d'Huez
Alpe d’Huez is a high-altitude, south-facing resort famous for its reliable snow and exceptional sunshine, earning it the nickname the “Island in the Sun” with over 300 bluebird days each year. Its 250km ski area is highly varied, offering beginner-friendly learning zones and well-linked easy runs, long scenic blues around the main bowl, and more challenging terrain higher up on the glacier, including the legendary 16km Sarenne – the world’s longest black run.
The resort is spread across several distinct areas, each with its own character. The lively centre is home to bars and nightlife, including quirky spots like Freeride Café, while Bergers offers a quieter, more laid-back atmosphere. Vieil Alpe provides a traditional alpine feel with its stone buildings and village charm. Après-ski is a big part of the experience, with mountain venues such as La Folie Douce delivering energetic parties straight off the slopes.
Accommodation is equally diverse, ranging from self-catered apartments to large hotels with extensive facilities, making it suitable for all types of traveller. For off-slope activities, the alpine coaster offers a thrilling descent with twists, turns and optional VR goggles for an immersive mountain experience.
