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.

If you're a student, don't forget to take student ID.

If you prefer it quieter

For nearly €20 a day less than the access-all-areas pass, you can buy a local area ski pass for the slopes of Vaujany and Oz-en-Oisans. The terrain is more limited, but there are slopes for all levels. You'll find it's often less busy too.

This pass includes the Pass'Loisirs which lets you use the ice rink and swimming pool in Vaujany.

The offer is valid on Oz-Vaujany ski passes of two days or more.

Beginner ski passes in Alpe d'Huez

If you're only just starting to ski or snowboard, you don't actually need a ski pass at all. At Alpe d'Huez, you can use the following lifts for free: 

  • Rifnel 1 drag lift
  • Grenouilles magic carpet
  • Petit Ecole drag lift  

But once you find your feet, you'll probably want to explore a bit more terrain. 

At Alpe d'Huez you can save up to €30 a day by buying a beginner ski pass, although only if you're an adult. For children, the price of a full ski pass isn't that different to the cost of a beginner pass and you won't save as much.

You'll need to go to one of the ski pass offices in resort to buy your beginner ski pass. You can't do it online.

Essential Winter Insurance Checklist

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.
