ALPE D'HUEZ (1860m) is one of the most popular European ski resorts, appealing to skiers of all levels. Its location at the foot of a glacier and high altitude terrain with mostly south-facing slopes is part of its attraction, together with the expansion of its domain with links to resorts like Vaujany and Oz-en-Oisans. The resort is split into several areas: "Le Quartier des Bergers" (close to the slopes), "Le Hameau de l'Eclose" (at the entrance of the resort) and "Le Centre". Alpe d'Huez also offers a large choice of easy slopes for beginners.
