Hotel Pic Blanc's incredible views across the Romanche valley, the surrounding mountains and the Pic Blanc glacier will blow your mind. The owners have purposefully made massive picture windows for you to enjoy the scenery.
This is a charming, chalet-style hotel just 70m from the nearest lift. The place is filled with cosy lounge areas complete with open fires, ideal for some relaxed après, and plenty of wellness facilities to ease any achy muscles.
Being south-facing, you can expect long hours of sun (when it's not snowing!), and what better way to get set for a day on the slopes than watching the sunrise over the mountains? The atmosphere is really friendly and laid-back making it great for the family who also enjoy a little peace and quite.

About the resort
Located on a slightly sloping plateau at the foot of a very impressive mountain, Alpe d'Huez is a real mix of old and new. From the slopes, it's really quite pretty to look at with its mostly low-rise buildings and distinct districts. There's easy access to the slopes from all areas of the resort thanks to a well thought out lift system.
Many resorts claim to be an ‘all-rounder' but in Alpe d'Huez's case, it really is. 238kms of varied slopes sees to that; two snow parks, wide-open beginner slopes and some pretty crazy black runs including one that's accessed through a tunnel and another that's the longest in Europe at 17kms!
Alpe d'Huez has a higher than average amount of sunny days per year than most ski resorts. Work your tan at one of the many mountain restaurants whilst enjoying a delicious Vin Chaud and a welcome leg rest.
As the slopes comes to a close, the resort keeps going with a huge array of nightlife. Choose from small little family-run restaurants, cosy mountain pubs or night-clubs to dance the night away in.
