near the hotel des Bruyères

The ski area of the Alpe d'Huez is spread out in a grandiose environment offering superb panoramas. That of the Pic Blanc, culminating at 3330 meters, classified 3 stars in the Michelin Guide, and those of the prestigious summits of the Ecrins National Park (the Rateau, the Meije, the Muzelle, the Aiguilles d'Arves, the Belledonne range and the Mont Blanc). Boasting exceptional sunshine, the resort offers no less than 250 km of pistes suitable for all types of skiing and all levels with the longest run in Europe from the Sarenne glacier (16 km). Dynamic and sporty, the Alpe d'Huez also proposes many "off ski" activities. Its Sports Palace is the best example with its indoor pool, climbing wall, tennis and squash courts, weight room, gym classes, yoga ...

All these activities accompanied by hiking, aerial, bicycle or horseback, contribute to make the Alpe d'Huez a very pleasant destination also in summer.

The discovery of the villages of Auris-en-Oisans, Huez-en-Oisans, La Garde, Oz-en-Oisans, Vaujany, and Villard Reculas are an example of beautiful walks to experience the traditions of the Oisans. Traditions that are expressed in the gastronomy and rurality, presented by the migrationof some 370 cows and 2000 sheep grazing on the 10,000 hectares of pastures which become ski slopes in winter.
