About The Mountain
Auris Ski

You'll find nursery slopes and a good ski school. You may find the run back down from Alpe D'Huez a bit challenging
Intermediates - most of the runs are tailored towards intermediates so you should enjoy the skiing locally. With the rest of Alpe D'Huez to explore there's definitely a lot to keep you amused.
