Altitude 3300

Today's summits, redefined for tomorrow

Between 2024 and 2030, SATA Group – AEON is undertaking a major transformation of the Espace Alpe d’Huez mountain area.
The objective is to offer a high-altitude experience that is smoother, more accessible, and more sustainable.

Named ALTITUDE 3300, this program marks a key milestone in the evolution of the mountain area through the modernisation of its infrastructure. It includes the replacement of six strategic lifts and the complete renovation of their terminals.

DRIVEN BY A LONG-TERM VISION, THE PROGRAM IS BUILT AROUND 2 MAJOR OBJECTIVES:

1. Reinforce the connections between the five resorts of the Espace Alpe d’Huez area – Oz 3300, Villard-Reculas, Vaujany, Auris-en-Oisans and Huez – in order to make travel between these destinations easier in every season. This involves installing new lifts that are faster, more comfortable and more efficient, replacing older or less suitable installations.

2. Reach higher altitudes more quickly. Through smoother connections and state-of-the-art technology, access to the summit becomes more direct, benefiting both skiers and visitors seeking panoramic views.

Altitude 3300 is shaping the future of the Espace Alpe d’Huez — for all seasons, all activities, and for a vibrant and sustainable mountain destination for the next 50 years.
