The lake walk – Snowshoeing on the Espace Alpe d’Huez from Villard-Reculas

From the Villard-Reculas Tourist Office, take the Villarais chairlift down to Alpe d'Huez via the Signal cable car. Then take the Pic Blanc gondola down to the first section, where the tour starts.

The main itinerary can be covered in two ways:
- One way to Alpette (approx. 1 hour's walk), with a return gondola ride from Alpette to Oz 3300, then by the Poutran gondola to Pic Blanc 1.
- Round trip between Pic Blanc 1 and l'Alpette, for a total walking time of around 2 hours.

It is imperative to follow the trail markings along the entire route. Please do not use the cross-country ski trails or leave the marked itineraries.

Cross-country skiing is only permitted during lift opening hours.
We therefore invite you to leave a little time to reach the starting village before 4:00 pm.

Welcome: Check the Espace Alpe d'Huez website or app to find out when tours are open, or ask directly at the lift ticket offices.

Follow the signs, stay on the authorized itineraries
and avoid cross-country ski trails.

Plan your return before the lifts close, with a safety margin.

For prices, information is available at the lift ticket offices.
