This weekend (Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th March 2017) ski cross legend Ophelie David hosts her annual "Ofe X Weekend" here in Alpe d’Huez.

The famous torchlight descents by the fabulous ski instructors of ESF ski school are always one of the highlights on the events calendar here in Alpe d’Huez and last Wednesday was no exception.

Last night the slopes of The Signal here in Alpe d’Huez were truly lit up in fantastic style by the instructors of ESF Ski School, as the huge crowd were treated to the second of three torchlight descents to coincide with the U.K and French Half Term Holidays.

Now the clocks have gone forward here in resort there's even more time to do things away from the slopes when you’re here on holiday.

There has been plenty going on over the first three days with the festival taking over several bars and clubs in the resort to host parties from various different UK club nights and DJs.

We're approaching the busy February school holidays and as is usual here in Alpe d'Huez there's plenty going on in resort to keep you all entertained.

April may be round the corner but there’s still plenty to do away from the slopes here in Alpe d'Huez.

New Years’ Eve is always a big night here in Alpe d’Huez and this year was no exception. The weather wasn’t great for a “pub crawl” but, hey, it’s NYE, so we braved the conditions and headed out – out out!

2017 certainly arrived with a bang here in Alpe d’Huez with a huge outdoor party at the leisure centre in the middle of resort. Although this is an annual event, it was, in fact, the first time in ten years that I've managed to go. This year with nothing particularly planned we decided to head up and see what it was all about.
