Nestled in the centre of the Isere department, Alpe d'Huez certainly deserves its nickname of "Île au soleil" (Sunshine Island). Its exceptional sunshine is its main asset. In April, you can enjoy 11 hours of sunshine (7h30 in December). However, this is not the only reason to plan your next holiday in this resort.  

It also has a unique and beautiful landscape. Perched at an altitude of 1,860 metres, this picturesque village offers a 360° view of the surrounding valleys. On a clear day, you can enjoy a view of 1/5 of France from its highest point. At an altitude of 3,330 metres, the Pic Blanc (the third highest peak in the Grandes Rousses massif in Oisans) offers a beautiful panorama as far as the eye can see. 

Moreover, this ski area in Isere is a favourite destination for winter sports enthusiasts. Is this also the case for you? Well, there are no less than 250 kilometres of pistes at your disposal - divided into 111 marked routes. And the 80 ski lifts in the resort allow you to ascend in complete peace of mind.

The slopes of the Grand Domaine de l'Alpe d'Huez are south-west facing and they benefit from 300 days of sunshine every year. You can ski there in any season. Moreover, the artificial snow which currently covers 30% of the area allows the resort to better cope with climatic hazards.  

Similarly, Alpe d'Huez is a land of tradition. As the home of the "Gens d'en Haut", the resort has managed to preserve the authenticity of the Oisans through an exceptional, rich and varied local gastronomy. In order to satisfy all demands, this picturesque village also offers a wide range of holiday rentals. From apartments with balconies in the centre of Alpe d'Huez to family chalets on the outskirts, you will be spoilt for choice.

This is a lively and bustling area with many shops and facilities (including a swimming pool and an ice rink).

Located to the south of the Alpe d'Huez ski resort, the Éclose district is another choice if you want easy access to the slopes. It offers a magnificent view of the Grandes Rousses mountain range from its privileged location just a few metres from the Tourist Office.

You can make the most of this village by choosing an exceptional apartment or chalet in the centre of the Bergers district. Here you are more likely to find a holiday home with ski-in-ski-out access.

In any case, the Emerald Stay team is at your disposal to offer you the best apartments and chalets in the area.

The ski resort of Alpe d'Huez is a breath of fresh air for its visitors, and the breathtaking scenery will not fail to amaze you. This picturesque village in the Isere region offers a change of scenery that will certainly delight you during your winter holidays. With so many activities to choose from, there is something for everyone in your group.

Not surprisingly, snow sports are the main attraction here. Even if the slopes are south-facing (which means optimal sunshine), the relatively high altitude of Alpe d'Huez (1,860 metres) means that the slopes have good snow cover all year round. The Grand Domaine de l'Alpe d'Huez is also suitable for children and beginner skiers. In fact, it consists of 60% green and blue runs.

For the more courageous, the area also has some slopes with a strong character. These include the black runs of Sarenne (the most famous in Alpe d'Huez) and the Tunnel (with a starting point at 3,333 metres). Similarly, its snowboard course is accessible. The gentle slopes are also ideal for sledging. In the Bergers district, there is a 1 kilometre-long toboggan run.  

If you want to do something off the slopes, the Palais des Sports de l'Alpe d'Huez is open to you. The activities to do are as diverse as they are numerous. Escape Game (2 indoor rooms and 1 outdoor course), modern aquagym centre, introduction to aquapalming, swimming lessons, indoor artificial climbing structure, badminton and table tennis, etc., you are spoilt for choice.

Of course, you can also simply take advantage of the luxurious rooms of your holiday accommodation in Alpe d'Huez and its various facilities to make your stay all the more enjoyable. An indoor swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, hammam..., an apartment or a luxury chalet in Isere will certainly satisfy you.

This Isere ski resort is also an excellent choice for summer holidays in the mountains. It is a real haven for nature lovers and high-altitude activities. In particular, the village of Alpe d'Huez offers a vast playground for the whole family. Whatever your age or level, you will probably find the perfect attraction to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

In the Bergers neighborhood, for example, you will find the Kid's Land park where bouncy castles and trampolines welcome the young ones. The Bergers is also home to the Île aux Loisirs, which offers multigenerational activities. Tennis, golf, archery... make your choice according to your desires.

Whether you are a solo traveller, a visitor wishing to spend a memorable stay with your loved one or a group of friends wishing to enjoy the exceptional landscape of the Alps, Alpe d'Huez will surely convince you. Think of rock climbing in particular.

Le Vernis (750 metres) and its 30 routes, Venosc (950 metres) and its 51 routes, La Chalp (1000 metres) and its 37 routes, La Berarde (1500-2000 metres) and its 100 routes..., the choice is very wide. The Lacs Besson cliff (2,150 metres), in particular, offers a magnificent setting where 150 routes of levels 5-6 are distributed. They are equipped to guarantee optimal safety. But you can also decide to climb around Grenoble which offers routes of different lengths.

For those who prefer to stay on the ground, hiking is another possibility. Again, there is a wide selection of routes to choose from. The ascent to the Col du Lac Blanc will reward you with a magnificent view of the Pic Blanc. While a descent from the Vallon de la Fare refuge will allow you to stop at some unique spots.

Another idea to fully appreciate the beauty of nature in Alpe d'Huez is to opt for a walk around the lakes. Lac Besson, Lac Noir, Lac Faucille and Lac Carrelet, discover them through a 9.5-kilometre hiking circuit. Alternatively, you can also choose the Plateau de Montfrais route, starting at an altitude of 2,100 metres. The return journey is by cable car.

In addition to picnicking in these beautiful places in Alpe d'Huez, you can also organise a family fishing day. The lakes (Besson, Les Bergers, Lac Blanc, Lac Noir, Faucille, Milieu) and streams (Sarenne, Rif Nel and Rif Brillant) are particularly suitable for this activity. For mountain bikers, this Isere ski resort offers perfect trails to reach even more beautiful places. There are 37 routes spread over 250 kilometres of marked mountain bike trails, overlooking the Oisans between 700 and 3,330 metres above sea level. 

Alpe d'Huez is the main resort of the Grand Domaine Ski. The slopes are accessible to all levels. Beginner skiers can go for the green areas of the Alpe d'Huez 1860 and Auris-en-Oisans 1600 resorts.

The more experienced skiers, on the other hand, will enjoy the red Bartavelles piste (between the Dôme des Petites Rousses and the Alpette). Perched at an altitude of between 1400 and 2600 metres, it offers an incredible playground punctuated by a panoramic view of the Oisans valley.

The famous Sarenne piste (black zone) is the most extreme one with its particularly demanding slopes. This run (at an altitude of 1,860 metres) is said to be the longest in the world. 

In order to reach the different slopes of the Alpe d'Huez ski resort as easily as possible, you can opt for a holiday home with ski access. Your apartment or chalet with a balcony will also offer an unobstructed view of the Alps.

If you choose a luxury holiday residence in Alpe d'Huez, you might benefit from accommodation with wellness facilities.

However, a successful stay in the ski resort of Alpe d'Huez will certainly not be without outdoor activities. Hiking, mountain biking, climbing... it's up to you. This may also be the opportunity for you to try white water sports. A day of canoeing and paddling along the Rive in Bourg d'Oisans or canyoning not far from the village of Oz-en-Oisans, the choice is yours.

You can also book a gyrocopter flight from the Altiport Henri Giraud. You can discover the typical mountains of the Oisans and Savoie in an expressly playful way.
