Alpe d'Huez Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Alpe d'Huez snow conditions
Alpe D'Huez is in good mid February form, with the high slopes above 2700 metres holding excellent cover and the village buzzing with half term visitors. The Sarenne side looks particularly impressive at the moment, with broad white pistes stretching down the mountain and plenty of depth across the domain. The season feels well established now, and despite busy lifts at peak times, the mountain is skiing comfortably and consistently.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths are around 95 to 110 cm in resort at 1860 metres, with approximately 200 to 240 cm reported on the upper slopes around Pic Blanc at 3300 metres. Over the past week the resort has picked up around 10 to 20 cm of fresh snow, with slightly higher totals on the highest terrain.
Temperatures at 3000 metres have generally ranged between minus 11 and minus 5 degrees, while in resort daytime highs have been between minus 3 and plus 2 degrees. The freezing level has fluctuated between 1500 and 1900 metres, dipping lower overnight and helping to preserve the base. Winds have been light to moderate, occasionally stronger along the ridge lines but with minimal disruption to lift operations.
On piste the snow is firm and well prepared first thing, particularly on the higher runs off Marmottes and towards the glacier where surfaces remain cold and grippy. The long descent of Sarenne is in good condition, especially in the morning before it softens slightly in the afternoon sun. Lower slopes towards Huez and Villard Reculas can become a little softer later in the day, but coverage remains solid and continuous.
Outlook & What’s On
The outlook for the next few days suggests a continuation of cool conditions with the possibility of light snowfall towards the end of the week. Any additional snow will freshen up the surface and help maintain quality across the lower pistes. Freezing levels are expected to remain favourable for February, which should keep the base intact across the whole ski area.
Half term activities are in full swing, with evening entertainment in the main square and family events scheduled throughout the week. The resort has a programme of torchlit descents and live music events, and the ice rink and swimming pool remain popular options once the lifts close. The mountain restaurants are busy but lively, adding to the winter atmosphere across the village.
Weather outlook as of: 16 February 2026. As I am sure you are aware, accurately forecasting weather more than two or three days ahead in the mountains is notoriously tricky. If there is a significant change we will update this section before the next full weekly snow report.
Snow Takeaway
Alpe D'Huez is skiing well across the full altitude range, with the highest slopes offering the most consistent snow quality. Early starts are worthwhile for firmer conditions on the steeper runs, while the mid mountain remains enjoyable through the afternoon. With a healthy base and cooler weather in the forecast, conditions should remain dependable over the coming days.
