With breathtaking panoramas, legendary sunshine, and ever-evolving infrastructure, the resort continues to earn its place among the world’s leading ski destinations.
This winter, discover the many new features that will make your stay even more unforgettable…

The ccons of the resort reinvent themselves

At Alpe d’Huez, the modernization of the ski area continues with a major milestone: the Rif Nel and Poutran gondolas, along with the new cabins of the Pic Blanc cable car, now reveal a new look for these historic lifts.

These facilities, familiar to generations of skiers and mountain lovers, have been redesigned to offer greater comfort, speed, and accessibility for everyone.

These transformations are part of the Altitude 3300 project, which is rethinking mountain mobility around two key goals:

  • Strengthening the connection between the five resorts of Alpe d’Huez, Auris-en-Oisans, Oz-en-Oisans, Vaujany, and Villard-Reculas through smoother links, both in winter and summer.

  • Making altitude more accessible for all visitors — skiers, walkers, mountain bikers, hikers, and people with reduced mobility.

La Cabane à Sucre: A tasty and unique break on the slopes!

This winter, discover a new and unusual gourmet experience at the foot of the slopes in Alpe d’Huez: La Cabane à Sucre is coming to the resort for the very first time!

Inspired by traditional Québécois sugar shacks, this alpine-style version invites you to enjoy a sweet and playful mountain break right in the heart of the Bergers sector.

Take the leap on the Giant Airbag at Rif Nel!
