About Alpe d'Huez

Alpe d'Huez markets itself as 'L'île au Soleil' — the island of sun — and delivers on that promise with predominantly south-facing slopes. It's home to the legendary Sarenne, the longest black run in Europe at 16km. The resort attracts a mix of ability levels, with good intermediate cruising and serious off-piste accessed via the Pic Blanc at 3,330m.
