Lifts/cable cars Alpe d'Huez

Skiers are transported by numerous gondolas and chair lifts throughout the Alpe d'Huez ski resort. Some are very modern and some are a bit older, but are still in good condition and comfortable. There are still some t-bar lifts used as practice lifts in the valleys. They are not needed to access the whole ski resort.
