Alpe d'Huez
Apres-Ski in Alpe d'Huez
Alpe d'Huez is party town and has the bars and late-night spots to match. There's a branch of the ski resort favourite La Folie Douce to start you off. For something a little - no, a lot - different you simply must go to the Freeride Café. The difference? A slide down to the toilets and drink prices which go up and down in the course of the evening like the stock market. What is all that about? You could dance the night away at L'Igloo if you've survived that long!
As for other activities apart from shopping, there's skidooing, cross-country skiing, snowshoe walks, husky dog rides and ski joering where you ski along behind a horse, no less. There are also helicopter rides, a climbing wall, a Palais des Sports for indoor workouts and a cinema.
Is that enough for you?
We're sure the answer will be yes, so why not let GetSkiing arrange your holiday?
Gary's Little Gems in Alpe d'Huez
Alpe d'Huez was the first place in the world to have a ski lift - in 1936. The main town looks on to a south facing sunny bowl which is ideal for beginners and for kids/adults who want to try some tricks on the snow park. For keen skiers, there is a great long run down to Oz En Oisans that will test stamina and skills. The Black run from Pic Blanc is also definitely worth a go.
