Family activities

Family fun and friendly competition on snow

Location
Alpe d’Huez

Discover a brilliant line-up of family activities in Alpe d’Huez, perfect for bringing everyone together on the snow. Whether your crew loves a challenge, prefers shared adventures or wants to try something completely new, there is an experience for every age and level.

If you are all about speed and rivalry, Beat the Clock is your moment. With coaching from professional esf instructors, you will train on the famous stadium slalom course before taking part in an official timed race. Bibs, cheering, adrenaline and a proper podium finish make it a cracking family showdown. Who will come out on top?

For a gentler way to reconnect, All Together is ideal. Instead of scattering across the mountain, you explore the resort as one group, with an instructor adapting the route to the lowest level. Parents can pick up handy tips, children gain confidence and everyone enjoys the same slopes for once. There is even a mini biathlon challenge to wrap things up with a smile.

And for something playful and competitive, Family Biathlon hits the mark. Toddlers use elastic rifles, older children try lasers and adults take on the classic version. Concentration, giggles and friendly rivalry all mix for a fun afternoon at the nordic park.
