Description

Enjoy one or several days off piste skiing and/or ski touring in Alpe d'Huez and its surroundings.

Alpe d'Huez is a beautiful ski resort in the Central French Alps, with almost 250 kilometers of slopes for all levels.

The main objective of this trip is to let you enjoy the best snow of the area far from the lifts. That's why I'll guide you through the best spots of the region.

Besides, I'll give you a basic training if you are a beginner or support you in passing the next level if you are a more experienced skier.

I'll organize this trip in groups up to eight people. That will depend on the route we choose and the technical level of each client.

POSSIBLE ROUTES WE CAN EXPLORE

These are some of the places we can explore during this ski trip:

  • Le Grand Sablat, Le Pic Bayle, Le Glacier des Quirlies, etc.

  • The north side of Vaujany and it's different routes.

  • Les Vallons de La Meije in La Grave, Les 2 Alpes, Serre Chevalier, Montgenèvre, etc.

  • Massif des Grandes Rousses, Grandes Buffles, the famous traverse of Les Rousses, le Pic de l'Etendard, etc.

  • Les Enfetchores, Col et Tête du Replat, etc.

The conditions were hard, a lot of wind and some cloud layers downside. Quentin managed to keep the group together and drove us trough deep powder on the lower parts of Alpe d'huez since La Grave was closed. It is an excellent guide with huge human skills ! We loved our journey with Quentin and are sure we will ride together again soon
