From Alpe D'huez website

If you haven’t already skied yourself into the ground during the day, then Alpe d’Huez is one of the few resorts that also offers night skiing. Every Tuesday and Thursday, the slopes on the Signal mountain are re-prepared at the end of the day and then opened again from 5.30 - 7.30pm (6.30 - 8.30pm in Spring due to longer daytime lift operating hours). With mainly blue & red graded pistes, the area is suitable for intermediate to experienced skiers. There is also a slalom course available where you'll often see some of the local ski club kids being put through their paces. Night skiing is all included on your VISALP lift pass or you can buy a one off ticket for €8.50 if you don't have the full ski pass. The night skiing is open from 23rd December 2008 to 26th March 2009.

One of the very best resorts for groups of varying abilities. Easy stuff close to home getting harder the higher you go.

Ski down to Oz for one of the most picturesque runs in France.

The Tunnel for that 'ken ell' moment as you drop over the edge.

The Sarenne is just a great run, not particularly difficult, steep top section but it soon becomes easier. Then it's just the most beautiful run away from the lifts. Your legs will be burning by the time you reach the restaurant (where there are the most gorgeous newfoundland dogs.)

Some great off piste close to the runs.

Alpe D'Huez has everything, high snowfall and the sunniest resort in France.
