Skiing in the Alps can be a wonderful experience if you’re looking for an adrenaline-fuelled holiday, and if you’re planning on staying in a chalet, Alpe d’Huez and all it has to offer will become even more accessible. Whether you’re a seasoned skier or a complete newbie, this slice of paradise will have opportunity for you to challenge yourself and test your skills. Here are the options for varying abilities. For Beginners Beginners shouldn’t feel intimated by the slopes, as just above the village there are plenty of routes designed specifically for newcomers. Les Bergers includes a generous number of green runs that can also be accessed by a chairlift. Top Tip: There are many ski schools in the area with multilingual instructors, available to teach in Spanish, French, Japanese, Russian, Hebrew and a great range of other languages. For Intermediates Alpe d’Huez is perfect for intermediate skiers as it boasts several runs (red runs) that are challenging enough without being intimidating to those who aren’t entirely confident in their abilities. In fact, Alpe d’Huez is considered the ‘red run capital’ of the French Alps. These intermediate runs are long and feature plenty of turns to allow skiers to practice their skills and eventually progress to the trickier slopes. Signal l’Homme is perhaps the best area for intermediate skiers, providing plenty of space to learn as the routes here are typically quieter than others. Since a large portion of holiday skiers typically ascribe themselves to the intermediate group, it has been made sure that there are various options to suit this level while also providing the opportunity for skiers to stretch their talents. Villard-Reculas certainly tests a skier’s stamina, as does the run from Pic Blanc. For Experts Although there are multiple red runs in this destination, there are a number of blacks located at the top stations (the longest run in the Alps can actually be found here: the 16km Sarenne). It’s also been said a few of the testing reds could even be considered black runs by comparable resorts. Top Tip: Signal de l’Homme is ideal for groups of skiers with varying abilities, as there are options for more experienced skiers at the top. Where to Stay When deciding where to stay, the first choice should be a chalet; Alpe d’Huez is the perfect location for those seeking that personal touch when it comes to accommodation.
