  During the inaugural winter season in Alpe d’Huez VIP had a large number of enquiries from couples, smaller groups and families that did not wish to take a whole chalet. They have therefore relaunched Chateau as a CLUB property. CLUB Chateau sleeps 15 and can be booked on a room by room basis.

Ski Area

The domain covers an area of 10,000 hectares which includes 248 km of linked pistes extending over an altitude range of 2,230m. The top station, Pic Blanc ( 3330m ) offers breathtaking views of the Alps including Mont Blanc, Mont Cervin and the Meije whilst on a clear day a fifth of France can be seen from this point.

The Alpe d'Huez slogan is L'ile au Soleil or Island of the Sun and this reputation is well deserved with almost all slopes south facing. The national meteorological office further confirms this with average figures of 300 sunshine days a year consisting of up to 7 1/2 per day in December and 11 per day in April.

The amazing amount of artificial snow making covering about 2/3 of the area, allows skiing from the 1st of Decembre right up to the last week-end of April, with beautiful conditions and consistency.

The central bowl of Alpe d’Huez naturally divides into zones catering for different abilities. It should be said that the resort is an excellent place for beginners to learn as the large number of green pistes testify. These currently stand at 39 and the majority occupy the shallow bowl immediately above the resort. There are a number of chairlifts serving this area such as Romains, Fontbelle. or button lifts such as les Jeux, Rifnel, Poussins, Tk ecole...
