The skiing here it has to be said is pretty good if not excellent. Alpe d’Huez is the perfect resort for demonstrating a riding hierarchy. What I mean by that is; the lower slopes are most suited to beginners, the mid-mountain slopes to intermediates and the upper slopes coming off the summit of Pic Blanc are only really amenable to advanced riders. The great thing is that the unqualified can ride to the top in the cable car for a glimpse of what they may aspire to someday. It is a journey worth taking as the views from this eagle’s nest at over 10,000ft are astounding.
