2 Freestyle areas dedicated to snowboarders and skiers

Alpe d’Huez has welcomed in January, 2009 a world cup of Skicross ( SkiX): it took advantage of it to become famous in the word of the freestyle and more particularly the Skicross by restructuring its “new glides” area and by equipping it with 20 snow guns.

It possesses since then one of the vastest snowpark in the Alps (21 ha) situated at bottom of the slopes, very close to the village.

The snowpark for beginners

This area is situated along the slope of the 1st section of the DMC.

It begins by a series of box and rail-box, a ridge and then goes on with some small bumps before arriving at the bottom of the slope in woops.

At the departure, the bumps do not exceed 80 cms then evolve towards an intermediate level with 4 – 5 m.

On the left going down, mini cross with bends was drawn as well as the sledging track.

In Vaujany

Situated on the sector of Montfrais, the human-sized snowpark is built every winter. To discover safely the new glides and the first sensations of jumps, several tables of average level, some bends and bars to slide.
