Why this trip
In May and June the snow still lies on the peaks, but in Alpe d'Huez the meadows are in bloom, and that is precisely the appeal for families with children. The village, at around 1800 metres in the Isère, is known as a ski resort, but outside winter the paths are quiet and manageable, with plenty of sun. The place is famous for the Tour de France: the hairpin bends of the road attract cyclists, and families can experience them in short stretches by e-bike or on foot. The Caisse lifts Bergers mountain railway opens up paths that smaller children can manage too, if breaks are planned.
The Sarenne descent is notorious in winter, and in summer part of it can be walked as a hiking trail, but for children the view from the edge is enough. September and October are quiet months with clear air and warm days, when the mountains are especially visible. Chamonix, Val Thorens, Courchevel and Val d'Isère are nearby, but with children one base makes more sense than moving around. If you choose Alpe d'Huez, look for short distances between family room, lift and playground.
A video call with Swiss Vibes helps with the choice.
Getting there
On a journey with children every hour counts, so from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse Swiss Vibes chooses short and calm connections where possible.
