The pistes in the skiing area of Alpe d’Huez are mainly on the south side of the mountain guaranteeing lots of sunshine. However, due to its high altitude the skiing region is very snow sure. Additionally over 700 snow making devices assure good piste conditions. The 220 kilometres of piste and the 82 lifts between the altitudes of 1120 m and 330 m are suitable for beginners as well as for experienced skiers that are looking for a challenge in the ski holidays. There is a large offer of red and black pistes around the Pic Blanc (3330 m), the Sarenne-Glacier (3060 m) and the Clocher de Macle (2800 m). The most demanding piste is the legendary Piste du Tunnel: over the Sarenne-Glacier you reach the tunnel which leads to the front of the Pic Blanc. The Sarenne, with its 16 km, is one of the longest pistes of Europe! Beginners will find great nursery slopes at the outskirts of the resort near Oz and Vaujany. Snowboarders will love it here! The fun park at the Sarenne-Glacier is only recommendable for real cracks, the fun parks at the Lac Blanc and near Auris en Oisens are not quite as demanding. With the lift pass included in the holiday price you can also access Les 2 Alpes for two days.
