Visitor Reviews of Alpe d'Huez
Jean from France writes:
First time here having visited many French resorts. We were part of a large party in a chalet. The general opinion was that whilst we had an enjoyable week we wouldn’t rush back. The runs in the bowl above the resort are boring. There are some good blacks off the top as well as good off-piste areas.!The runs down into Oz and Monfrais are more interesting as is the area above Auris. Eating on the mountain was a pain, having a drink was even worse. One place wouldn’t let us inside for a drink even when it was snowing and mid morning claiming it was food only, but that wasn’t available until noon. The resort itself feels disconnected and is very spread out. The snow was excellent and the lifts generally good with only the odd antiquated chair.
