Alpe d’Huez Spends Still More on Sarenne

Alpe d’Huez Spends Still More on Sarenne

Published : 02-Oct-2015 09:13



Following a huge investment in summer 2014 in installing floodlighting and snowmaking along most of the length of 'the world's longest black run' Alpe d'Huez say their lift company has spent a further €1.75m this summer completing the job.

The Sarenne piste is the resort's big draw and the investment last year allowed it to open every day through to 12th April last season allowing 370,000 skiers and boarders to descend it, the resort says.

The latest investment covers the final 4.5km of piste down to the Alp Auris ski lifts with 30 more snow cannons installed. The Alpe d'Huez lift company hopes this will ensure the piste will be open every day and some evenings from 5th December 2015 through to 24th April 2016.
