Alpe d'Huez for Skiing and Snowboarding

Founded in 1936 and located high in the Oisans Alpes at 1869 metres above sea level, Alpe d'Huez is the central resort of the Grandes Rousses Massif domain. It links the traditional mountain villages of Auris-en-Oisans, Villard Reculas, Oz-en-Oisans, Vaujany and La Garde.

The resort itself is one of Europe's highest and largest with a massive vertical drop, crowned by the Sarenne Glacier - the longest black run in Europe.

The resort is big and vibrant with far more shopping and other things to do generally off the slopes than in most other ski centres, especially by French standards.
