The resort of Alpe d’Huez and the surrounding area, named the Oisans region, is simply a stunning part of the world.  It boasts some of the most varied and picturesque skiing you will find in the whole of the French Alpes and Europe for that matter. As mentioned before on the winter page,  Alpe d'Huez is well know for its family ski holidays due to its compatibility with the novice and intermediate skier. However, for this very reason,  Alpe d'Huez is also an incredible resort for the more advanced skier who wants to experience the fresh powder snow that can remain untouched for days on end after a heavy snow fall.
Believe me, you don’t have to venture far from the piste to find untouched, virgin snow to put 'that' smile on your face!

Once you've finished there, why not take a guide and a group of friends and hit some of the real glacial and back country routes. Skiing with your very own, off piste expert, ensures you will have a fun, safe day and be delivered back to the resort, in one piece, at the end of it! Your guide will then  point you in the right direction for some après ski drinks at one of Alpe d'Huez’s famous bars and a discussion on 'who had the best line of the day‘!

The resort of Alpe d’Huez and our neighbouring resort Les2 Alpes are only a 25 minute drive from one another, or if you prefer, a 5 minute helicopter taxi . Once you're over that neck of the woods, why not have a days guided off piste skiing in La Grave. La Grave is probably one of the best known, off piste ski areas in the world, as it retains that real, old fashioned,  rustic feel that an Alpine village should have.
Not only is La Grave one of the most popular areas for off piste skiing, frequented by skiers from around the world, it is also a Mecca for ice climbers and hikers alike.
