Alpe d'Huez Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Alpe d'Huez snow conditions
Alpe d’Huez has a calm, mid winter feel this week, with clear mountain views and well covered slopes stretching right across the area. From a local perspective, the season feels nicely settled now, with consistent snow underfoot and plenty of choice across the ski area. Conditions feel dependable rather than changeable, and the mountains have that bright, open look that makes Alpe d’Huez so enjoyable in January.
Snow and Weather Summary
Snow depths are currently around 240 to 260cm at altitude, with approximately 80 to 100cm at resort level. There has been little new snowfall in recent days, but the existing base remains in good shape thanks to cold overnight temperatures and regular grooming. Daytime temperatures on the mountain have typically ranged between -9 and -2 degrees Celsius, with freezing levels sitting below the village for much of the week. Winds have been generally light, occasionally moderate on higher ridges but without causing lift issues. Skiing is strongest on higher and north facing slopes where the snow stays dry and firm, while lower runs can feel harder first thing before softening slightly later in the day.
Outlook & What’s On
The forecast for the coming days suggests continued cold and mostly dry weather, with some sunshine improving visibility and comfort on the pistes. No significant snowfall is expected in the short term, so conditions should remain stable. In resort, the usual winter programme continues with evening events, live music and family friendly activities adding to the atmosphere after skiing.
Snow Takeaway
Alpe d’Huez is offering reliable winter skiing, with the best conditions found higher up and on shaded slopes. Early starts suit confident skiers on firmer snow, while late morning and early afternoon provide more forgiving conditions lower down.
