Visitor Reviews of Alpe d'Huez
Barry Allsuch from United Kingdom writes:
Just returned from another fantastic week at this great resort.This is my 10th year at Alpe d'Huez so it must be special. The snow was fantastic and as usual there was plenty of sun. I do feel that there should be more piste bashers at work grooming the slopes for the next day. Although, we went just before half-term, there were still 5 minute plus queues at popular chair lifts, including Marmotte. This could be avoided if the lift attendants were more effiicent in getting each chair lift full.
Although other ski areas in France might be larger at Alpe d''Huez there is a great variety of runs.
I consider the resort perfect for beginners but would add that it is not that challenging for advanced skiers unless you go off-piste.
Will be going back in 2014 that's for sure.
