I love teaching advanced skiers and boarders, and taking groups on adventures off-piste. Alpe d'Huez has soooo many great routes for the god rides to enjoy, but it's also one of the best resorts in the world for beginners and improves!
In this short Ride-Along I take you down one of our classic fun routes, Chez Roger. Purposely made tunnels and coaching areas are scattered along the way, as well as some plastic sheep and a large Shepard to keep things fun for the kids!
Other routes to look out for in Alpe d'Huez are Marcel's Farm, and Les Bucherons.

Great to see the green runs. I'm a beginner and have picked Alpe D'Huez as my first European ski trip!

@Cookiesports Год назад

Excellent choice… drop me a message if you need lessons! 👍👍👍

@@Cookiesports As I'm now retired - last Christmas, and am a free agent, I'll also be trying skiing again next season as a mature beginner - skied in Scotland three times over long weekends with the Warrington Ski Club, but the last time was 35 years ago - Nevis range. The Ski Club of GB/UK has something called 'Peak Experience' specifically for people 55+ who are going into skiing. No idea if Alpe d'Huez is one of the resorts they use, as the broacher/catalogue plan for next season doesn't come out till July.

@@Puzzoozoo hi! I don’t know if SCGB is coming here, but if they are (or you are!) I’d be happy to show you around!

@Puzzoozoo Год назад

@@Cookiesports Thanks for the offer, and as I said, I and you won't know till late July.

This looks great for 2024/5. Very nice to see ski vids for beginners, its exacly what I need.

@Cookiesports 3 месяца назад

Glad it was helpful! Message me when you're booked for next winter.. I'll be happy to coach you! 👌

Ahhh fabulous, thank you! We have, in our time, skied reds and blacks. Now we're 71 and 78 we have to confine ourselves to the easy stuff. We've visited Alpe d'Huez years ago and loved it, skied most of it. We've just booked again because of the large number of greens and the ski convenience. This video has made us feel confident that we'll have a great holiday, thank you!

You’re going to love it here. 😍

@raphaelscarin9057 5 месяцев назад

Hey! First of all, thank you very much for this video! With this video you saved our ski holidays last week! As a beginner, we booked our trip to Les Deux Alpes because of the hype about the number of green runs, but my wife was afraid to run them as they were to much steeper and had no side protection! We only learned about Alpe d'Huez on our last day through your/this video and made us visit Chez Roger directly and we simply loved the place! It's super friendly for new entrants to the sport! Really wide open trails and we felt very safe the entire time! Also the convenience because the ski slopes are close to the ski lifts, so you don't waste a lot of time and energy commuting in ski boots (which is annoying)! It was the best moment of our entire ski trip! Definitely, the best spot for beginners like us! Thanks a lot!

Glad you enjoyed it here… book me for lessons next time and we’ll get up blues!

@richym2020 2 года назад

Beautiful scenery! It looks incredible. The camera work is really good and makes you feel immersed in what you are seeing. The tunnels look fun. p.s. When does the windsurfing season begin?

@Cookiesports 2 года назад

Thanks Richy! Plenty more similar videos on the channel flying down other routes in the areas! We open the Cosmos in Vassiliki on 8 May this summer… I’ll be there filming and coaching once again! 👍

ça a l'air sympa ! Je viens avec ma conjointe en janvier et ça sera sa première fois

@jkjsg 11 месяцев назад

This is a fantastic video that has convinced us to go to Huez in France. We tried Austria and Germany and the ski level (starting at blues - no green options) was just too steep for us. Thank you for helping us make this decision easy!

@Cookiesports 11 месяцев назад

Yes yes yes!! 🙌🙌🙌 Email me for lessons of course! 👍👍

@mikerusby Год назад

my daughter has just gone there( tonight) as part of a school group. hope she has a great time. looks really good

@Cookiesports Год назад

She’ll have a great time I’m sure! 👍👍

@borises5065 Год назад

Looking forward to visit Alp D‘Huez in March maybe. Do you also teach snowboarding? Do you recommend this area also for snowboarders to learn and to get some confidence on green slopes or is it far too flat on the green slopes for snowboarders in Alp D‘Huez? Thank you.

@Cookiesports Год назад

Alpe d’Huez is great for both skiing and boarding- definitely not too flat-l. There is such a mix of gentle slopes, getting steeper- and amazing off-piste! I teach both skiing and boarding. My contact details are in the description- drop me a message and we’ll see what we can arrange. Thanks

I just came back from snowboarding in alpe dhuez

@Cookiesports 5 месяцев назад

Good! Should have messaged for lessons! Next time! 🤩

@brendanoneill9691 Год назад

Are there any areas with a magic carpet or butt lifts for easy going up and not too far up the mountain? Thanks!

@Cookiesports Год назад

Yes, yes, yes!

@emmarubyberry592 Год назад

Hi, we are thinking of coming here 25th March. 1-do u think it is too late in the season? And 2-my daughter is 10 and will not go in ski school, however she said she will have private lessons with me, do u think she will be able to pick it up ok doing 1.5hr lessons a day? She has no experience although we have booked on a dry ski slope next week to get a little feel. Thanks!

@Cookiesports Год назад

Hi! Definitely not too late… March and April are great! My contact details are in the description, we can chat about lesson options if you like?! 👍👍

@lindensheffield6434 6 месяцев назад

A great idea to get the early learning stuff done on the dry slopes. That's how I learned 50 years ago now (really) and it was amazing - a VERY tiny dry slope, but it gave me the basics so I was ready to get out there on day 1 and ski. An added bonus is that when you've learned on a dry slope, real snow is SO much easier. Your daughter will have an amazing time and will probably be hooked for life.

@StuZetec16v 11 месяцев назад

Is there much snow left mid May in this area? Thanks

@Cookiesports 11 месяцев назад

You can certainly ski in May… but no lifts will be open- you’ll be up high into spring touring conditions. 👌👌

@joshf2719 Год назад

Hey this is perfect! I'll be in Vaujany mid March ans would love lessons for the week. How do I contact you?

@Cookiesports Год назад

Hi Josh! Thanks for watching! Just saw your email and have dropped you a quick message answering a few things! Hope to see you in the snow soon!

How fast are actually going, also your ski's look slim as well...ie I am going in 3 weeks..& I am a beginner

@Cookiesports 7 месяцев назад

Not fast in this video, just cruising about. Some other videos I’ve put the speed on. Skis I’m on are 94 Altums!

@mister0006 7 месяцев назад

@@Cookiesports Thanks Cookie, also I have slightly dodgy knees being 58 old, should I be concerned about skiing, even on the green runs ie is it safe also I intend to have lessons?

@Cookiesports 7 месяцев назад

Always best to have lessons. Check with your dr/physio about skiing in general though.
