Spring Alpe d’Huez means open-jacket skiing and cold panachés in the sun at the piste-side restaurants. The warmer weather of late season skiing is also a fantastic opportunity for families and those learning to ski who can spend more time exploring the slopes and less time warming cold hands over hot chocolates.
Alpe d’Huez extends its appeal to families with attractions like the new luge sur rail and access to the sport centre, which comes free with the purchase of a lift pass.
