Orientation and safety in the ski resort Alpe d'Huez

The paper trail maps of Alpe d'Huez are clearly organized and sufficiently large. On the back of the map, the opening times of all of the big lifts are listed in a table. The map also includes information about safety precautions and emergency numbers. Unfortunately, the types of lifts are not indicated. In addition to the foldable map, there is also an informative App for smart phone users. This is available for free for iPhone and Android. Information about the opening of lifts and runs as well as emergency numbers and many other useful details are made easily available in the App.

There is a uniform signage system throughout the entire resort. Information about slope names, difficulty levels and destination villages or lifts is clearly displayed and easily understandable. At intersections, these directional signs also show the opening statuses for lifts and the runs that branch off. There are also large overview boards at many lift stations that also display the opening statuses of the lifts and slopes. There are maps at the base stations of the larger lift stations. They show the runs that are accessible from the particular lift in detail. Electronic displays inform guests about the capacity utilisation at the various sectors of the ski resort. This helps guests avoid particularly crowded areas and long lift lines.
