How and where to buy your ski pass
You can buy your Alpe d'Huez ski pass online and have it delivered to your home, or you can collect it from one of the ski pass offices in resort.

Hang on to your card at the end of your holiday. You’ll be able to use it on future trips to Alpe d'Huez.
Don't forget to bring a copy of your receipt on holiday. If you lose your lift pass on the mountain, you'll need the receipt to get a replacement.

Ski pass insurance in Alpe d'Huez
The prices on this page do not include insurance.
You’ll be given the option to add ski insurance when you buy your ski pass. This is provided by Assur'Glisse and normally costs a few euros a day.
You don’t have to buy insurance from the lift company, but we can’t stress how important it is to have a snow sports policy in place before you come skiing or snowboarding in Alpe d'Huez.
Hopefully you’ll never have an accident. But if you have to be helicoptered off the mountain, or spend any time in hospital in France, you could end up with a huge bill.
