Ski the Sarenne all Season Long in Alpe d'Huez

8 million euro investment means you can ski top to bottom on the Sarenne all season long

Thanks to a ten year study and an 8 million euro investment, you'll now be able to ski and snowboard on the Sarenne - the longest piste in the world - all season long!

Gone are the days when the snow cover at the bottom of the Sarenne was so thin you couldn't ski it in March & April.

It's taken 2 years to build a massive reservoir and a network of snow canons to allow you to ski top to bottom on the Sarenne, which starts at the top of the Pic Blanc at 3300m and finishes at 1500m elevation. Plus to keep an eye on conditions, 6 new webcams have also been installed along its length.

From 6th December until 20th April you'll be able to ski the full 16km non stop!

And that's not all.. thanks to lighting on top of the snow canons, you can enjoy a new experience - ski the Sarenne at night, dine in a mountain restaurant and return back to the resort centre.
