Alpe d'Huez transfers from Grenoble airport GNB take around 1 hour 40 minutes by private transfer. The next closest airport is at Lyon airport (St Exupery) LYS which takes around 2 hours.

Alpe d'Huez is located at 1,850m above the market town of Le Bourg d'Oisans. The Alpe d’Huez glacier ensures the snow is sufficient for a long winter season and there are also 1033 snow cannons available to help out if required. The Alpe d’Huez Grand Domaine has 249km of pisted runs with the highest peak being the Pic Blanc at 3,300m and it's possible to ski from the cable car station down to the Tunnel Black run with its 35 degree gradient or the Sarenne black run which at 16 kilometres long is the longest black piste in Europe. Many off-piste opportunities exist and you can also arrange heli-skiing if you wish from the resort's altiport. The other villages connecting to Alpe d'Huez are Auris, Villard Reculas, Oz en Oisans and Vaujany. There is no shortage of sunshine at this resort with an average of 300 sunny days a year so most of the available 32,000 beds in resort get reserved. If you want a few hours away from the slopes then why not try ice skating, go to the cinema or check out the sports centre for some swimming, climbing, badminton or weight training or even try some ice driving or para gliding.

Tommorowland Winter is an annual event held in March at this ski resort which offers a week of music and entertainment.

Summer cycling

This iconic cycling area is on every cyclist's bucket list, not just the 21 bends of mighty Alpe d'Huez to conquer but also many serious ascents of the many cols like Galibier (2,645m), Lautaret (2,057m), Glandon (1,924m) and Croix de Fer (2,067m) all within a great day's ride from Le Bourg-d'Oisans.

Feeling like a real challenge well why not consider one of the big cycling events within the area like the road cycling event Marmotte Gran fondo or the downhill mountain bike event Megavalanche
