The Ski Club in Alpe d'Huez...

Weekly programme, social hour, and contact details
The sunny bowl directly above the resort offers up some of the best beginner slopes in the French Alps and with over 300 days of sunshine each year.
It is highly likely that you’ll catch the resort basking in sunshine! Above this a vast network of steeper reds and blacks can be found, including the mighty Sarenne – Europe’s longest – which plunges down almost 2000 vertical metres from the summit at Pic Blanc.

IntermediatePros and cons
- Extensive ski area and a lot of sunny slopes
- Fantastic gentle area for beginners
- Lively village and a lot to do away from the slopes
-
Sunny aspect can cause runs to get slushy
-
Steeper runs are high up and close in bad, windy weather
-
Some parts of the village are a decent walk away from the main lifts
On the Slopes
Alpe d’Huez is somewhat spread out, with the centre extending over quite a large area – but a recently constructed gondola linking it up has helped with access. Another hub can be found at Les Bergers, where there are some large apartment blocks and a secondary centre with its own shops, bars and restaurants.
Alternatively you can base yourself in one of the smaller villages linked to the main area – including Vaujany, Oz en Oisans, Villard Reculas and Auris en Oisans. Immediately above the village lies one of the best learning areas in France.
Gentle greens, served by a fleet of fast chairs and chondolas, as well as numerous drags and rolling carpets make this an excellent area for beginners. Intermediates will enjoy the long, cruisey blues down from Marmottes and the Alpette area above Vaujany is often quieter and holds on to better snow.
For more advanced skiers and boarders, there is a bit of a reliance on the top of the mountain being open. But when it is there are some great long reds for an on piste blast and of course the lengthy Sarenne is an epic groomed run. If there has been fresh snow head to the Tunnel run (it should hopefully have filled in the biggest of the bumps) or the Combe Charbonnière.
Alpe d'Huez Resort
There are two resort centres in Alpe d’Huez. The main village is the bustling hub and is home to much of the accommodation, some seriously lively bars and a number of excellent restaurants specialising in local French food. Les Bergers is a good alternative, with its own centre and a great selection of great value, self catered accommodation.
If you’re looking for a quieter stay or to stay in a chalet, then Vaujany is perhaps a better option, as is the small village of Villard_Reculas.
Off the slopes, the resort prides itself on offering a multitude of winter activities. The outdoor ice rink is possible, as are the cross country and winter walking trails. There is also a huge outdoor swimming pool that is open throughout the winter.

Updated 24/12
After the excellent snowfall at the start of this week, things settle down across the region for the remainder of this week. High pressure dominates throughout, meaning fine, dry and bright conditions are in store for Christmas Day and right the way through to the end of the weekend.
Temperatures will re cool, with a freezing line hovering around 1,500m overnight and spiking up to 2,000m during the midday sun – that means highs of 1-3°C can be expected at 2,000m.
Otherwise, things are holding steady with some excellent skiing conditions coming up.
The Ski Club office is closed on Friday 28 December – there will be no overviews published on this date, returning Tuesday 31 December. The Ski Club wishes you a Merry Christmas!

Les Morgan
Repping dates: 04/01/2025 - 18/01/2025Ever since I was not allowed on public bus with my 2m 20cms skis (old days) from Perth Academy – I was determined to go skiing. I love teaching many sports, aerobics, squash, basketball, windsurfing and skiing. (qualified PE teacher) I also created the world’s first multi-coloured dry ski slope (red, blue and gold) while Director of Leisure in Durham. I now live 45 minutes away from the Lecht
Johnny McIntyre
Repping dates: 18/01/2025 - 01/02/2025I started skiing in my home country of Scotland when I was at school, now I spend most of the winter in the alps. As well as repping for the SCGB, I lead for the DHO and am a BASI and IASI instructor. The most important things for me on a leading day are safety, smiles and miles. I always enjoy driving to the resorts from Scotland as a grand touring road trip. The rest of my year is involved in clay target shooting, for the last 17 years I've been capped for Scotland in the Home International.
Pete Beck
Repping dates: 01/02/2025 - 15/02/2025My first skiing trip was to St Anton at tender age of 22, which was a long time ago now. I caught the bug from the very beginning and I've not missed a season ever since. I just LOVE the mountains and have never had a bad day; just some better than others. This is my tenth season leading/repping for the club, which has enabled to ski some great resorts where I’ve had some truly memorable moments and met some fantastic people along the journey. My favourite resort is Revelstoke in British Columbia with its legendary powder, small town vibe and it’s where my youngest daughter lived for six years!
James Rothnie
Repping dates: 15/02/2025 - 01/03/2025I first put on skis in Moscow, aged 3, and then lived in Switzerland as a boy. During my adult life I have skied, taught and raced in multiple locations whilst managing a corporate career and, latterly, running my own business. As a rep I hope to meet new people and keep skiing in both new and familiar places. I am a keen gardener and am currently qualifying as a scuba diving instructor, the plan being to have fun in all seasons
Hilary Napier
Repping dates: 01/03/2025 - 15/03/2025I have been repping since 2006 and have enjoyed the amazing community that is the Ski Club. It is a privilege to meet and ski with members old and new.
When not repping I love travelling and this year I am crewing on a Clipper in the Caribbean, travelling from Budapest to Venice by train through the Swiss Alps, and hiking in the Japanese Alps in autumn.
I look forward to skiing with you this season.
Ken Macallister
Repping dates: 15/03/2025 - 29/03/2025Life long outdoors enthusiast. Telemarker and keen road cyclist. Exploration Geophysicist for over 30 years having worked in a number of locations globally. Just enjoy sharing the mountains with like minded folk.
