Altitude 3300
What are the plans for Alpe d'Huez Domaine Skiable
Between 2025 and 2027, the Alpe d'Huez ski area will undergo a significant transformation thanks to an ambitious project to modernise its infrastructure.
The aim of the project is to offer an experience accessible to everyone, whether skiers, pedestrians, mountain bikers, people with reduced mobility (PRM), holidaymakers or residents.
The main aim of this initiative is to replace several ski lifts in order to create a fluid and optimised connection between all the resorts in the area (Alpe d'Huez, Auris-en-Oisans, Oz 3300, Vaujany, Villard-Reculas), while facilitating access to the summit of the Pic Blanc, culminating at an altitude of 3,300 metres.
The aim of the project is to offer an experience accessible to everyone, whether skiers, pedestrians, mountain bikers, people with reduced mobility (PRM), holidaymakers or residents.
Outline of the project
The project involves replacing the existing ski lifts with five new, modern, high-performance gondola lifts, with the aim of improving user comfort, reducing waiting times and optimising traffic flow within the ski area.

STAGE 1 - Completed in 2024
Renovation of the Pic Blanc cable car
- Renovation of the Pic Blanc 1 gondola lift at 1800m (formerly DMC 1): new panoramic cabins, modernised departure station, increased capacity for faster access to altitude.
STAGE 2 - In progress (summer 2025)
- Replacement of the Poutran gondola lift with a new 10-seater line between the Oz 3300 station and the heart of the resort.
- Replacement of the Rif Nel Télémix with a comfortable, fast gondola lift directly connected to the G2 station (2100m) of the Pic Blanc cable car.
This work will entail an exceptional closure of the Poutran gondola lift and the Rif Nel Telemix this summer.
Other stages will follow in 2026, until the project is completed with the new Sarenne gondola planned for 2026/2027.
