Our Opinion Now the fifth largest ski area in France, Alpe d'Huez can also claim the longest black runs in the Alpes and one of the longest vertical descents at 2330m. However, there is also a fantastic nursery area with plenty of greens for the improving beginner, and a multitude of blues and reds for the intermediate crowd Après Ski Alpe d'Huez has a lively night-life and large variety of bars and restaurants including Smithies Tavern, The Underground and the Igloo to mention a few!
