Meanwhile, La Grave boasts high-mountain landscapes and off-piste adventures, with views of the majestic La Meije. The Tunnel, a passage reserved for the fearless, challenges skiers with a 200-metre-long cave before descending one of the steepest mogul fields in French skiing.
For riders, freestyle enthusiasts, and experienced skiers, the snowpark offers a dynamic playground, evolving throughout the winter to foster progression and improvement. The vast off-piste areas in the French Alps, with more than 70 routes, cater to the cravings of big slope enthusiasts, ski tour lovers, and powder snow aficionados.
Beyond the exhilarating skiing experience, the Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine Ski area is connected to six charming village resorts, including Auris-en-Oisans, Villard-Reculas, Oz-en-Oisans, Vaujany, La Garde-en-Oisans, and Freney d'Oisans. This interconnected network adds an extra layer of exploration, allowing skiers to discover the beauty nestled in the valleys.
