Esquiades SKICK OFF Party is back

On December 7, 2025 we will kick off the ski season, putting the cherry on top of the Immaculate Conception with a special event in Alpe d'Huez. Did you know that this is the setting for the well-known Tomorrowland Winter festival? Imagine opening the ski season in these fantastic conditions.

If you don't know them yet, they are one of the musical duos of the moment: creators of "Coti x Coti" and responsible for mixing urban rhythms, pop and electronica with an energy that lifts any dancefloor. Are you going to miss it?

The party will continue at the Moose Bar, home of authentic alpine après-ski directly on the slopes, for all those who want more. No matter if you are one of those who usually start the season skiing in the Alps during the hotel deals for travelling in December or if you have always wanted to go and had no one to accompany you, there are no more excuses - Ski in Alpe d'Huez with us!

Start the season in Alpe d'Huez

Skiing in the French Alps during the hotel deals for travelling in December is a tradition among Spanish skiers and Esquiades.com customers. We are specialists in taking advantage of the holidays to open the ski season in the French Alps, which usually offer more favorable snow conditions than the ski resorts in the Pyrenees.

Resorts such as Tignes and Val Thorens tend to be the most popular destinations, but popularity comes at a price. What if we told you there was a better way to start the season? Alpe d'Huez is one of the most famous resorts in Europe, with more than 250 km of slopes for all levels and home to legendary slopes such as Le Tunnel or La Sarenne, the longest piste in the world, with 16 km of run.

When you arrive at your accommodation,you will receive the wristband of access to the event in the delivery of your ski pass and a ticket so that you can redeem your free beer. Only with the official wristband, you can enjoy the advantages of the Esquiades Skick Off Party at the Folie Douce and the Moose Bar.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Skick Off Party at the Folie Douce de Alpe d'Huez

When and where is the event?

The Skick Off Party will take place on Sunday, December 7 at the incredible Folie Douce in Alpe d'Huez, located at an altitude of over 2,300 metres.

The event will start from 2:30pm, although the venue will be open from 9:00am for those who want to go earlier. Get ready to move your skeleton to the rhythm of the DJ until the station closes!

I'm not a skier, can I go to La Folie Douce without a ski pass?

Yes, you can still attend the event!

To access La Folie Douce you need to take a ski lift, and although you can go up without skis, you do need to have a ski pass.

If you don't ski, you can buy a pedestrian ski pass directly at the station's ticket office, which will allow you to go up and down the ski lift to enjoy the party. On the other hand, if you prefer to go directly to the Moose Bar, you won't need a ski pass, as it is located directly on the slopes and is accessible without ski lifts.

How to get to the Folie Douce? Information about the ski lifts

There are two ways to get there:

- Skiing: right next to the Folie Douce is the Télémixte Marmottes 2 lift, you can't miss it!

- From l'Alpe d'Huez: the most direct way is to go up with the Télémixte Marmottes 1, located just behind the Les Bergers Shopping Center.

How will I receive my wristband to access the event and the ticket for a FREE beer?

You will find the passes at the reception of your accommodation, with the following exceptions:

If you have booked accommodation from the Pierre & Vacances chain, a tourist or apartment that is managed by an agency apartment or if your accommodation is in the towns of Bourg d'Oisans, Villard-Reculas or Huez Village, you must pick up your ski pass at the Les Bergers de L'Alpe d'Huez ticket office ➞ How to get there

If you are staying at the Oz, Vaujany or Auris villages, you must pick up your ski passes at the respective ticket offices:
