The island in the sun
Alpe d'Huez calls itself l'Île au Soleil, the island in the sun, and its south-facing balcony at around 1,860 metres does catch remarkable sunshine. Above it, the Pic Blanc rises to 3,330 metres, starting point of the Sarenne, a black run of around sixteen kilometres that is one of the longest in the world. In summer, the road up to the resort, with its 21 hairpins, is one of the most famous climbs of the Tour de France.
Our Alpe d'Huez collection includes 35 chalets in and around the resort, from family chalets close to the slopes to larger chalets with saunas and hot tubs.
Here is a guide to the resort, its skiing and how to get there.

Sunshine, altitude and a famous road
Alpe d'Huez is spread across a sunny plateau above the Romanche valley, with chalets, hotels and restaurants spread between several neighbourhoods and the main lifts. Its altitude and orientation give it long sunny days, and its sheer size means there is plenty for every level.

From the Pic Blanc to the Sarenne
The Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine links the resort with Vaujany, Oz-en-Oisans and Auris, offering long, sunny cruising runs, a glacier and serious terrain from the Pic Blanc. The Sarenne descends for around sixteen kilometres from the top of the Pic Blanc and is a rite of passage for confident skiers.
