Alpe d'Huez

Rising dramatically from 1,860 to 3,330 meters in the French Alps, Alpe d'Huez commands attention with its impressive 250 kilometers of marked runs. Known as "L'Isle au Soleil" (The Island of the Sun), the resort basks in over 300 days of sunshine annually, combining brilliant light with reliable snow conditions. The varied terrain spans five connected alpine villages, offering everything from wide, gentle slopes to some of France's most challenging descents.

An extensive network of 84 lifts seamlessly connects the resort's diverse sectors, capable of transporting 86,000 skiers per hour. The DMC gondola serves as the resort's backbone, climbing 2,307 meters in just 45 minutes. The sophisticated lift system provides easy access to all areas, including the legendary Sarenne run - the world's longest black piste at 16 kilometers.
