Europe’s longest black run: 16 km of skiing
1,820 m of vertical drop from the summit of Pic Blanc
A route that takes you from high mountain terrain to the Sarenne gorges
16 km from high-altitude terrain to the wild landscapes of the Sarenne gorges.
The adventure begins at Pic Blanc, at 3,330 m. From the very first turns, La Sarenne reveals its character: a demanding high-mountain opening section followed by a long descent that gradually changes with the terrain.
With 16 km of piste and 1,820 m of vertical drop, La Sarenne is about much more than length. It is a true journey through the Alpe d’Huez ski area, where the terrain, altitude and scenery evolve throughout the descent.
A run for advanced skiers, to be enjoyed at a controlled pace all the way to the final turns.
