Alpe d'Huez: hotels
Alpe d’Huez's resort village is split into eight small districts, or quartiers. The Viel Alpe quartier, also known as the Old Town, is convenient for the nightlife, less so for main mountain access. For ski-in/ski-out, the Bergers district has chalets close to the piste and the Alpauris and Marmotte chairs.
Unless stated otherwise, prices are per person, based on two sharing a double or twin room, half-board, for seven nights, including flights and transfers.
