Alpe d'Huez is one of Europe's largest and highest ski resorts. It is also one of only 20 resorts in the world - all in Europe - with a lift-served vertical of over 2000 metres (6560 feet).
Built above the original village of Huez, the resort has expanded in all directions over the past 20 years. Today it is big and vibrant, with far more shopping and 'things to do' off the slopes than in most other ski centres, especially by French standards. The vast array of off-slope facilities includes aerobics, rifle shooting, archery, body building, classical music concerts, curling, golf, ice driving, jazz dance, martial arts, squash, sumo wrestling and tennis.
This French skiing vacation resort has a reputation for both good snow falls and good sunshine with south facing slopes - the lower areas are protected by more than 400 snow cannons. There is a huge beginners area directly above the resort. Those who go to the top of the lifts will be able to see a fifth of France on a clear day. Summer skiing on the Sarenne glacier is an attraction in July and August.
The ski area pass is called Visalp, and Alpe d'Huez is keen to promote its multi-functional usefulness. Aside from access to the lifts, the Visalp Pass also gives you free or discounted entry to a range of attractions including two swimming pools, the ice rink, sports hall and museum.
Alpe d'Huez is by far the largest of the resorts on the lift-linked Grandes Rousses pass, which extends over 220 km (135 miles) of lift-linked terrain and includes Villard-Reculas, Le Chatelard, Maronne, Auris en Oisans, Oz Station (Oz-en-Oisans) and Vaujany.
