Ski Pass Prices in Alpe d'Huez

The Alpe d'Huez ski season runs from 5 December 2026 to 25 April 2027.

Early or late season skiing

Ski passes tend to be cheapest right at the beginning and end of the season, when snow cover is less guaranteed.

If you're considering coming then, it's a good idea to keep an eye on our Alpe d'Huez snow forecast for an up-to-date view of local conditions.

There are two main ski pass options around Alpe d’Huez: the Espace Alpe d’Huez pass, covering the whole linked ski area, and a more limited local pass for Oz 3300 and Vaujany.

The Espace Alpe d'Huez pass

The Espace Alpe d’Huez ski pass gives you unlimited access to 250km of pistes across five connected resorts: Alpe d’Huez, Auris-en-Oisans, Oz 3300, Vaujany and Villard-Reculas. The ski area has terrain for all abilities, from gentle beginner slopes to challenging red and black runs.

The benefits really start kicking in when you stay a little longer. If your Alpe d’Huez ski pass is for six days or more, you can also enjoy complimentary ski days at neighbouring resorts:

• two days at Les 2 Alpes
• one day at Puy-Saint-Vincent
• one day at Sestrières in Italy
• one day at Montgenèvre
• one day at Serre Chevalier
• 25% off a day pass at La Grave

Age or eligibility requirements may apply to certain discounted passes, so check the conditions when booking. Proof of age or eligibility may be required. To buy a student or a grand senior pass you'll need to go to one of the ski pass offices in resort. 

Vaujany and Oz-en-Oisans pass

If you prefer a smaller, quieter ski area, you can opt for a local ski pass covering Oz 3300 and Vaujany. The area has slopes for different ability levels and provides a more compact alternative to the full Espace Alpe d’Huez ski area.

If you want to go beyond Vaujany and Oz-en-Oisans

If you have a local Oz–Vaujany pass and want to explore the wider Espace Alpe d’Huez area, check with a ski pass office about the upgrade or extension options available for your pass and dates. Prices and conditions can change, so it's worth checking the current offer when you arrive in resort.

If you're only just starting to ski or snowboard, you don't actually need a ski pass at all. At Alpe d'Huez, you can use the following lifts for free: 

• Rifnel 1 drag lift
• Grenouilles magic carpet
• Petit Ecole drag lift  

But once you find your feet, you'll probably want to explore a bit more terrain. 

At Alpe d'Huez you can save money by buying a beginner ski pass, although only if you're an adult. For children, the price of a full ski pass isn't that different to the cost of a beginner pass and you won't save as much.

You'll need to go to one of the ski pass offices in resort to buy your Beginner or First Slide ski pass. You can't do it online.

If you're coming skiing for a week with two or more children over the age of five, you'll be able to save up to €285 when you buy a family ski pass.

You'll need to buy online at least three days in advance.

The family booking must include:

• at least two children aged 5 to 22 years - can be cousins
• a maximum of two adults aged 23 to 71 - can be parents, grandparents or older siblings 

You can't include children under five and adults over 71 years.  

Family lift pass prices in Alpe d'Huez

You can get a family pass if you're skiing for six or more days.

These are our top tips for saving money on your ski pass:

• come early or late in the season
• buy a family pass
• buy group tickets
• book early
• buy multiple days - you’ll get a much better day rate
• choose an Oz-Vaujany pass over a Grand Domaine pass

You heard it right, you can ski for free in Alpe d'Huez... but only if you're under five years old, or using one of the beginner lifts. 

You'll still need to pay €2 for a hands-free card to get through the turnstiles, but this can be used on subsequent visits to Alpe d'Huez.

It's a good idea to take ID when you buy a hands-free card. You may be asked to prove your age, or your kids' ages.

Whether you want to go snow-shoeing, watch the kids' first ski lesson or join friends at a mountain restaurant, a pedestrian pass lets you go up without skis or a snowboard.

If you're under 5 or over 71, you won't need a pedestrian pass to go up on foot.

Some of the lifts in Alpe d'Huez are free to pedestrians, including: 

• Huez Express linking Huez and Alpe d’Huez
• Télécentre linking Vieil 1800 area
• L’Alpe Express linking Vieil Alpe and Bergers area

On other lifts, you can buy pedestrian passes either for single journeys or multiple days (from two to 10 days).

*For passes of 2 to 10 days the price for children is the same as adults.

Prefer putting your heart through its paces on the flat?

• an AEON flexi pass - a pay-as-you-go ski pass
• a season pass - there are two versions, depending on where you want to ski or snowboard
• an annual pass - valid from the beginning of June to April (the end of the ski season) 

AEON Flexi pass

Season passes

An Alpe d'Huez season pass costs roughly the equivalent of a three week ski pass, so it's excellent value if you're staying in the resort for a while. You pay a fixed price and then ride the lifts as often or as little as you like.

A season pass is valid from 6 December 2025 to 19 April 2026, but to get the best price, you'll need to buy it before the beginning of October. Prices go up a lot after that.

• ski Alpe d'Huez, Auris-en-Oisans, Villard-Reculas, Vaujany and Oz-en-Oisans
• get a 25% reduction on a day pass for La Grave, a freeride paradise around an hour away from Alpe d'Huez
• enjoy a 10% reduction on 5, 10 and 20 ride packs at Les Bergers sledge on rails

• enjoy discounts of 10% on ski passes in each of the three areas for your companions
• benefit from a number of free ski passes for friends and family valid for the winter season
• ski three days free in the Grandvalira resort in Andorra

The Grand Senior (72 years plus) annual pass

For 2025 to 2026 the price is €356,50. 

The pass is valid from either:

• Summer 2025 to winter 2025/26 (28 June 2025 until 19 April 2026) 

OR 

• From 6 December 2025 until the end of the summer 2026 season. 

Please note: Grand Senior passes do not include access to the Grand Galaxie area or Ski de fond. 

The prices on this page do not include insurance.

You’ll be given the option to add ski insurance when you buy your ski pass. This is provided by Assur'Glisse and normally costs a few euros a day. 

You don’t have to buy insurance from the lift company, but we can’t stress how important it is to have a snow sports policy in place before you come skiing or snowboarding in Alpe d'Huez.  

Hopefully you’ll never have an accident. But if you have to be helicoptered off the mountain, or spend any time in hospital in France, you could end up with a huge bill.
