ALPE-D'HUEZ TOURISM

At Alpe d'Huez, happiness is served on a platter. A high plateau that becomes, in every season, an immense playground for sports, leisure and relaxation activities in the best conditions. With 300 days of sunshine a year, Alpe d'Huez stretches out into the mountains to offer the world's largest ski area. 250 km of pistes with a 2,200 m vertical drop, 10,000 ha of snow, 840 of which are skiable, for incredible sensations. In addition to these numerous slopes, including the famous Sarenne piste (16 km, the longest black run in Europe, with over an hour of descent!) and the terrible Tunnel piste (crossing the mountain and leading to a vertical wall with 35% gradient!), the Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine Ski (5 resorts and 2 villages) offers numerous fun areas and an exceptional off-piste domain with almost 70 itineraries. In summer, the slopes get even bigger, offering mountain bikers 2,610 m of vertical drop. The 30 km Mégavalanche is the longest downhill run in the world! And Grande Galaxie VTT becomes the biggest mountain bike site in France. An impressive range of activities is on offer: swimming, climbing, fitness at the Palais des Sports, ice skating, golf, aerial sports such as paragliding, not forgetting one of the resort's emblematic sports: road cycling and the mythical 21 bends. Last but not least, the resort regularly hosts major events. Alpe d'Huez, an inexhaustible source of pleasure.
