Alpe d’Huez Ski Lifts

The lift system is comparatively modern and efficient in Alpe d’Huez. The old bottleneck of the third stage of the Rousses cable car has been dramatically eased by the new third stage of Marmottes and the new Herpie chair on the glacier means that you can ski the top runs without having to come down Sarenne. The main problem is not so much with the lifts as with the central pistes late in the afternoon. They can get very crowded and it is seriously worth skiing away from the heart of the resort in the afternoon.
