Skier & Snowboarder-Submitted Reviews for Alpe d'Huez
Total (3.9)
A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
Alpe d'Huez caters to skiers of all levels, with a very interesting network of slopes that are far from being boring, wide runs. For non-skiers, there are beautiful walks and numerous cultural offerings, as the resort boasts a long history dating back to the Middle Ages, with excellent opportunities for guided tours. The Comedy Film Festival in January and Tomorrowland in April, the Tour de France passing through in the summer, the many mountain biking trails, the golf course, the museum, the altiport, and the ice rink all testify to Alpe d'Huez's ability to remain attractive to all generations.

This station is extremely dangerous because it's overcrowded; serious accidents are on the rise, and the mayor and his team continue to build. It's terribly dangerous; this station should be avoided if you want to prevent accidents, especially with young people.

We purchased a TRIBU pass online for 1 child, 1 adult, and 1 senior citizen. Upon arrival, we discovered that the TRIBU pass was more expensive than if we had purchased the passes separately, approximately €56. Following advice from the staff selling the passes, we filed a complaint, which was rejected. No solution was offered other than this concluding sentence: "We look forward to welcoming you back to our resort and wish you a pleasant day." Given this lack of consideration, we will not be returning to this resort.

Excellent

First time skiing with friends, a very large area with several sectors. We gained altitude quickly, the lifts were efficient, and there were few waits even though it was school holidays. However, the lower part of the area with the green and blue runs is very uninteresting, and the snow quality deteriorates rapidly. Despite the high altitude, most of the runs are located in the lower sectors. The runs are also not very varied, and the fun runs are of very poor quality compared to other resorts. The resort itself is nice, although a bit too "urbanized," lacking shops, bars, and restaurants at the base of the slopes.

Excellent ski area, I've been coming here for several years.
I just spent two weeks here, the last week before the school holidays, and I was surprised by the number of drunk skiers behaving extremely dangerously on the slopes.
I was violently hit by a drunk skier (I injured a ligament in my hand) on a blue run.

I spent a week there, and it was definitely too long. When there's fresh snow, the off-piste is incredible. It gets boring anyway. I've done Sarenne three times, and the route isn't particularly impressive (and ends with a long, flat descent, not great for snowboarders).
Laurent GENTINI
A day trip during the week with good snow and perfect weather; the slopes were well maintained, apart from an exceptionally large crowd, certainly due to the closure of the Tarentaise area. Otherwise, I didn't feel any safer off-piste than on the marked trails; some skiers forget all the safety rules.
Bertrand Rouger
It's a top 5 resort in France. For the past five years, I've gone there every year at the end of January and always with pleasure. It's the ideal resort for all levels.
Nicolas Randuineau
Amazing experience. I'll be back.
