Chalet Ecureuil occupies a prime position at the upper end of Alpe d'Huez, where the Clarines and Rifnel green pistes meet the chalet's doorstep and connect to the Marmottes gondola and chairlift. The nursery slopes are directly outside, making this a particularly strong choice for beginners or mixed-ability groups. The DMC gondola, which opens access to a broader range of terrain higher up the resort, is a two-minute walk away. The town centre is roughly ten minutes on foot, where you'll find restaurants, bars, shops, an outdoor ice rink, and a public swimming pool. The combination of immediate piste access and a walkable village centre is relatively rare in Alpe d'Huez, and gives Chalet Ecureuil a practical advantage over properties that offer one or the other but not both.

The Island in the Sun: 300 sunny days, vast terrain, and the world's longest black run.
Famously known as 'L'Ile au Soleil' (The Island in the Sun), Alpe d'Huez sits on a fully south-facing plateau at 1,860m. This sunny disposition blesses the resort with an average of 300 days of sunshine a year, making it a spectacular destination for fair-weather skiers and terrace-loungers alike, all while offering breathtaking panoramic views across the Southern Alps and the Écrins National Park. The resort is the central hub of the massive Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine, connecting 250km of diverse pistes across neighboring villages like Auris, Oz-en-Oisans, and Vaujany. Its brilliant layout naturally separates skiers by ability: beginners enjoy a massive network of wide, gentle green runs directly above the village, intermediates have an abundance of rolling blues and reds, and experts can ascend to the Pic Blanc glacier to tackle infamous challenges like the 16km-long La Sarenne or the notoriously steep Le Tunnel. Off the slopes, Alpe d'Huez is a vibrant, modern resort buzzing with energy. It offers incredible après-ski, most notably at the famous La Folie Douce, alongside a huge variety of dining options, bars, and non-skiing activities. From an outdoor ice rink and a massive indoor sports center to ice driving and alpine coasters, it provides a complete winter holiday experience for all ages.
A brilliantly designed ski area that naturally separates abilities, featuring a massive beginner zone right at the village base. Higher up, intermediates cruise endless sunny reds, while experts take on the formidable Pic Blanc glacier and its legendary, leg-burning black descents.
Located in the central French Alps, the Oisans region is characterized by dramatic peaks, deep valleys, and world-class expansive ski domains.
A vast, gentle bowl of sunny green runs perfect for first-timers, located directly at the base of the resort.
Wide, rolling blue and red pistes offering great views and stadium racing pistes, ideal for confident cruisers.
The highest point at 3,330m, giving access to the legendary 16km Sarenne and the ultra-steep Tunnel black runs.
Quiet, high-altitude off-piste terrain that tends to hold excellent, untracked powder long after a storm.
A well-maintained freestyle area with progressive kickers, rails, and a halfpipe catering to both beginners and pros.
