Behind the Sures ski lift, take the well-marked trail that climbs up to the Col de Maronne. At the pass, you’ll find yourself in a wide, open area where you can see the signs for the ski runs. Follow the one marked “Maronne.”
As you descend the trail, take the first path branching off to your right. At the start of this path, a second sign continues to point you toward “Huez,” and then two markers take over as you enter the mountain pasture. Follow the clearly marked trail as it descends gently.
You’ll come to another signpost indicating “Huez” or “Le Rosai.”
Once you reach the hamlet of Le Rosai, follow the signs for “Huez” or “Pont Romain” on your right. If you’d like to see the chapel, you’ll need to take a slight detour and then retrace your steps.
In the shade of the trees, a new sign will show you the way forward, and you’ll continue descending to the Pont Romain. Caution: this section of the trail is technical—rocky and strewn with stones—so stay alert!
Cross the Sarenne River and turn left until you reach a marker and a sign pointing to “Huez.”
At the intersection with the forest trail, take the path that climbs slightly to the right of the junction until you reach the village of Huez.

If you’d like to take the ski lifts up to Alpe d’Huez, cross the main street and continue straight ahead. You’ll see them shortly. Continue along the same road; the stairs and elevator providing access are located beneath the building.

On the way back, follow the same route in the opposite direction.
