Alpe d’Huez
Event agency PREFERENCE EVENTS can organise company seminars and incentive trips at the Alpe d’Huez ski resort.
Nestling in the Grandes Rousses mountains, the Alpe d’Huez ski area has been developing since 1936, when the first chair-lift was installed. Its highest summit, the Pic Blanc, is 3,330 metres high, affording breathtaking views over the ski resort, the Parc National des Ecrins and its proud summits, the Rateau, the Meije, the Muzelle, the Aiguilles d’Arves, the Belledonne chain and the Mont Blanc.
Appropriately nicknamed Sunshine Island, Alpe d’Huez enjoys no less than 300 days of sunshine a year and has a stunning ski area with 250 km of slopes, for skiers of all levels. Non-skiers still get a look in since they can enjoy the 35 km of blazed trails in the winter.
This greatly appealing ski resort is each to reach from Paris (high-speed train to Grenoble) and is an ideal destination for an incentive trip on a winter sports theme, a seminar or a convention in the mountains. There are all sorts of activities to keep you busy in Alpe d’Huez. Programmes designed by PREFERENCE EVENTS can be adapted to your expectations, to delight the participants of your corporate event in the mountains. Gear up for an introduction to extreme sports, for hikes through natural scenery and moments of relaxation in spas after long days in the snow!
Despite current development and the opening of many establishments (hotels and restaurants) Alpe d’Huez remains a charming ski resort with a friendly, sporting atmosphere, at much more affordable rates than the Three Valley resorts. As the ski resort with the most sunshine in France and one of the easiest to reach, it is perfect for organising a seminar in the mountains or a winter sports incentive trip for sports lovers and party-goers.
