Skiing

Beginners 

Newcomers to skiing are well catered for with a free lift and the option of buying locally a limited access daily ski pass (around €10 for 11 lifts) which covers gentle green runs. Progress can be quickly made under the expert guidance of the local ski school (a full lift pass is necessary for those in ski school).

Intermediates 

There is a vast choice of blues and reds with some of the best being on the Le Signal d'Homme and Plat des Marmottes. With the possibility of 2 days skiing in Les Deux Alpes and 1 day in Serre Chevalier (both covered on your lift-pass), the choice becomes endless.

Advanced 

Amazing challenges lie in store for expert skiers. Try the Sarenne, the longest black run in the world at 16km but beware as once started, you have to finish it, as there are no exits on the way down! Other exciting black runs include La Balme, the Tunnel and the thigh-pumping Super Signal mogul field.

Snowboarding 

Alpe d'Huez offers some amazing and varied terrain, keen freeriders will be in their element here. You can go in search of powder in areas such as Villard-Recluas, Auris and the Glacier de Sarenne. Freestylers will be smiling too as there is a pipe and snowboard park, though there is an abundance of natural kickers and rollers all around the resort.
