Alpe d'Huez Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Alpe d'Huez snow conditions
Alpe d’Huez feels settled and properly wintry this week, with the high plateau and surrounding slopes holding their snow well after the heavier falls earlier in the month. The wide open terrain above the village looks smooth and well covered, while the lower runs have a calm, consistent feel that suits relaxed mid winter skiing. The season feels firmly established now and conditions on the mountain are steady and reliable rather than changeable.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths are sitting at around 190 to 210cm on the upper mountain, with approximately 90 to 110cm at resort level. There has been little fresh snowfall in recent days, although light snow flurries at altitude have helped maintain surface quality on the pistes. Daytime temperatures higher up have been ranging between -7 and -4 degrees Celsius, with the freezing level hovering close to 1500m. Snow conditions are skiing well across most of the area, with soft, groomed pistes and areas of packed powder on higher and north facing slopes. Lower and sunnier runs are firmer first thing and tend to soften gradually by early afternoon. Winds have generally been light, with no significant impact on lift operations or exposed ridgelines.
Outlook & What’s On
The outlook for the coming days is largely dry with a mix of cloud and brighter spells. Temperatures are expected to remain seasonable, which should help preserve current snow conditions rather than cause rapid changes. Any new snowfall looks light and mainly focused on higher elevations later in the week. In resort, Alpe d’Huez continues its winter programme with evening entertainment, outdoor activities on the plateau and regular village events.
Snow Takeaway
Alpe d’Huez is offering dependable mid winter skiing, with the best conditions found higher up where snow depth and quality remain most consistent. Early starts suit the lower runs before they firm up, while spending more time on the upper mountain will give the best snow over the next few days.
