About Alpe d'Huez
Nicknamed “The Island in the Sun,” Alpe d’Huez is a resort famous for its high-altitude sunshine and expansive ski domain. With more than 250 km of pistes, it suits every level—from first-time family skiers to seasoned freeriders. The jewel is the Sarenne run, Europe’s longest black piste, which winds down for 16km from the glacier.
For families, the gentle lower slopes and activity areas make it easy to keep everyone entertained, while experts can explore the glacier, snowparks, or hidden off-piste couloirs.
It’s not just the skiing that makes Alpe d’Huez unique. The resort’s central village is packed with restaurants, shops, and après-ski spots, meaning your holiday continues long after the lifts close. And since many visitors ask, how far is Alpe d’Huez from Geneva Airport? it’s around 220 km, usually a 3-hour drive depending on conditions.
