Location
About the surrounding area of Chalet DouceurNestled amidst the majestic peaks of the French Alps, Alpe d'Huez stands as a testament to the perfect blend of family-friendly charm and thrilling sportsmanship. Affectionately known as "The Island in the Sun," this world-renowned ski resort beckons enthusiasts with its exceptional ski area, captivating landscapes, convivial ambience, and renowned nightlife, creating an idyllic year-round destination.
Skiing at Alpe d'Huez is an immersive journey into the vastness of the mountains, with 840 skiable hectares and 250 kilometres of slopes. The panoramic view from the summit of Pic Blanc at 3330 metres above sea level evokes 360° of emotion, setting the stage for an unparalleled skiing experience. A unique feature that skiers adore is the ability to traverse kilometres without relying on ski lifts, allowing them to revel in the expansive beauty of the estate.
For the thrill-seekers, three legendary slopes await, each offering a unique blend of sensations and emotions. La Sarenne, the longest piste in Europe, stretches over 16 kilometres of pure happiness between the lofty Pic Blanc and the breathtaking Gorges de Sarenne. Meanwhile, La Grave boasts high-mountain landscapes and off-piste adventures, with views of the majestic La Meije. The Tunnel, a passage reserved for the fearless, challenges skiers with a 200-metre-long cave before descending one of the steepest mogul fields in French skiing.
For riders, freestyle enthusiasts, and experienced skiers, the snowpark offers a dynamic playground, evolving throughout the winter to foster progression and improvement. The vast off-piste areas in the French Alps, with more than 70 routes, cater to the cravings of big slope enthusiasts, ski tour lovers, and powder snow aficionados.
Beyond the exhilarating skiing experience, the Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine Ski area is connected to six charming village resorts, including Auris-en-Oisans, Villard-Reculas, Oz-en-Oisans, Vaujany, La Garde-en-Oisans, and Freney d'Oisans. This interconnected network adds an extra layer of exploration, allowing skiers to discover the beauty nestled in the valleys.
Alpe d'Huez offers a Nordic area at the foot of the Grandes Rousses for those who prefer the rhythmic glide of cross-country skiing. With 50 kilometres of Nordic ski slopes, both recreational and sportive, enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the serene beauty of this winter wonderland.
