Alpe d’Huez offers several types of parking (free outdoor, paid covered) and a dedicated area for motorhomes.
👉 In both winter and summer, once your car is parked, avoid using it! Instead, use the resort’s free transport:
• ski lifts (Huez Express, Alpe Express, Télécentre)
• shuttle buses (3 routes including a night service)
👉 In winter, always carry snow-clearing tools (a shovel and scraper). Top tip: remember to take them out of your car! If your car becomes buried in snow it will be difficult for you to access them to be able to use them.
Thématique FAQ: Access and parking
🚗 What are the road conditions like?
In winter, the road with its 21 bends leading to Alpe d’Huez is regularly cleared of snow but remains a mountain road. Winter equipment is mandatory between November and March, and checks are frequent.
In summer, around fifteen events (Alpe d’Huzes, Triathlon, Tour de France, Étape du Tour, etc.) may require road closures—plan accordingly.
On the famous 21 bends, be cautious of cyclists. Slow down on the bends, anticipate overtaking, and maintain a safe distance. And remember to allow a minimum of 1.5m when passing cyclists.
👉 Check live road conditions before departure.
