It was amazing!!! I went with my school for a week and I really
enjoyed it. Took me a while to get used to the snow and one of my
instructors was not really nice to me but apart from that it was
great. I would go again.

Alpe d’Huez was the best. I went skiing for 1 week and had a great time
with my dad, brother and mum. That’s been the third time now and I
can’t wait to go again.

We stayed at Les Bergers VVF apartments. We had booked through Iglu,
a 2 to 3 apartment but got a 4 person. A lot better than our
expectation. The apartment is right outside the Marmotte bubble, ski
to the door. Snowed all day Monday, great runs in new snow Tuesday in
glorious sun. The boarders liked Auris best, the tunnel had too many
moguls to make good boarding. I hired snow shoes and walked to a few
piste bars via L'alpette/ OZ, across the frozen lake. Hang glider
flights from the airport from 40 to 90 Euros. Beer was 6 Euros a pint.
A great holiday.

I had an amazing time. I went for just one week and stayed at L'Ours
Blanc. I have now been to Alpe d'Huez for the 3rd week and I can't
wait to go again.

Omggg it was amazing. Was away with my school, totally had a good time.
It was the first time I had ever been skiing and the beginner slopes
were amazing. They were for all different kinds of learners and
different steepness. The weather was super as it snowed on the Monday
and sunny the rest of the week. I will definitely return.

Had a fantastic time on the slopes in Alpe d'Huez, the snow was
perfect and plenty of runs for all abilities. The green runs near the
resort are great for beginners, whilst venturing up on the Marmottes
bubble or DMC will take you to some challenging blues, reds or blacks
(depending on where you get off). Read full review

The resort has good shops. The black run is good and fun but it is a
whole day if you take your time. We did it in 20 minutes with 4 of us
but we saw no views and it was tiring. There are good restaurants and
pubs.

I would recommend the hotel and resort to everybody. The hotel is run
by Crystal Ski and everyone speaks English and is very helpful and
friendly. Read full review

Poor snow conditions the first week resulted in limited skiing at
lower areas with a lot of hard icy, narrow pistes. Second week snow
was better but still not very good. Compared to Three Valleys, Espace
Killy, Paradiski and Avoriaz area we, as skiers of some 45 years
experience were disappointed.
Great for beginners and possibly experts (if the runs are open) but
generally the longer blues and reds are often narrow, sometimes steep
and icy or have long flat sections between the quite challenging very
steep bits. The terrain is restrictive and the south facing slopes
subject to much snow variation during the day. Unlike the other
bigger ski areas of France where we have skied several times
previously we will not be returning. Fortunately a couple of days in
Les deux alpes made up for the poor runs at Alpe d'huez.

The range of ski runs in Alpe d'Huez is excellent with some good wide
runs for the beginners, nice long runs for intermediates (like me)
and challenging black runs for the really good skiiers. The slopes
were not crowded, with excellent accommodation and secluded mountain
restaurants.
We stayed in Villard Reculas at the La Source Ski chalet (fully
catered - luxury) and had lessons with the English Masterclass Ski
School in Alpe d'Huez to improve our skiing technique. Access from
Villard was easy every morning via the quad chair lift, and the easy
ski run back every night usually involved a stop at the local
mountain restaurant. A really good week enjoyed by all.

Had a great time in Alpe d'Huez - according to the rep we went on
the best week of the season with non-stop sunshine. It had snowed
for 2 weeks before we arrived so the skiing was great although a bit
icy by the end. Stayed in Bergers Apartments which were very handy
for the Marmottes and Auris lifts. Favourite pistes were the runs
down to Villard-Reculas.
