Alpe d'Huez Skiing and
Snowboarding
|
|
Founded in 1936 and located high in the Oisans Alpes at
1869 metres above sea level, Alpe d'Huez is the central
resort of the
Grandes Rousses Massif domain. It links the traditional
mountain villages of
Auris-en-Oisans,
Villard Reculas,
Oz-en-Oisans, Vaujany and
La Garde.
The resort itself is one of Europe's highest and largest
with a massive vertical drop, crowned by the Sarenne
Glacier - the longest black run in Europe.
The resort is big and vibrant with far more shopping and
other things to do generally off the slopes than in most
other ski centres, especially by French standards.
