Published on 28 October 2026 – Written by Coline
Every year, Alpe d’Huez attracts families from all over the world. With its ‘Famille Plus’ accreditation, the resort offers services, facilities and staff tailored to guests of all ages, ensuring a thoroughly enjoyable holiday with children.
But to ensure your holiday goes as smoothly as possible, there’s one important step you need to take: book well in advance. Accommodation, activities, equipment, ski passes… Booking everything in advance is the key to a stress-free family holiday, free from any unexpected surprises!
Book your accommodation now for your holiday in Alpe d’Huez!
Depending on when you choose to visit Alpe d’Huez, accommodation can sell out quickly. Indeed, whilst in winter many groups (friends or family) come to enjoy the ski area’s 250 km of slopes and its exceptional sunshine, in summer the resort also becomes a unique playground for young and old alike.
So, if you’re planning a trip during the peak season, it’s best to book your accommodation as soon as your dates are confirmed. That way, you’ll have a much wider choice of chalets, hotels, holiday residences or flats, so you can find the perfect gem for the whole family.
With its ‘Famille Plus’ accreditation, the resort also works with service providers committed to offering family-friendly services. As such, some of the establishments featured on our platform are specially equipped to meet the needs of parents and their children, with practical facilities such as a baby bath, a high chair, a bottle warmer, a cot, a changing table, a playroom or even a dining area dedicated to children.
