Intermediates skiing in Alpe d’Huez

Alpe d’Huez boasts an exceptional array of slopes that are hard to surpass, particularly for intermediate skiers and snowboarders. A remarkable 52% of the piste skiing is dedicated to Blue and Red runs, providing an exciting variety of options. Among these is the legendary Sarenne, Europe’s longest black run, which most intermediate skiers can conquer. Spanning 16 kilometres in length and descending a vertical drop of 2000 meters, this run is typically associated with Blue runs due to its impressive length. Although classified as a black run, it is only truly steep at the very top. For those seeking an extraordinary experience, guided skiing is available on certain full moon nights or with the aid of a reliable head torch. The cost for this thrilling adventure is approximately €65, which includes a simple meal. Snowboarders should take note that the lower section of this run is relatively flat.

Additionally, some of the red runs found here might be considered black runs in other ski resorts.
