Busy. You need to get away from the middle of resort and head for Auris or Vaujany. There is a skiable window of between 11:00 and 14:00 - before that the slopes are full of lesson groups, and afterwards they're just full.
I have no idea why I just told you this - I rely on all the punters being at lunch between 11:00 and 14:00 in order to get any skiing in.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

as Lizzard says, the big bowl above the resort will be a bit of a ****show. if you head for the edges of the ski area (where the best skiing is anyway) it will probably be fine. i doubt it will feel as busy as some of the bigger names in France

Arno, & Lizzard, What about Easter week (22 - 29 March), hopefully not as busy? Already booked though so will have to put up with it if it is.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Well, I had that week earmarked as one to avoid generally (not just with respect to ADH)...
Same advice applies, really. Get away from the bowl surrounding the resort and you should be fine. Even just going up Signal then dropping down to Villard Reculas can take you from serious overcrowding to almost deserted pistes

Arno, Thanks. I had little choice on when to take my daughter this year. She can't make half term so with Easter being early I've gone for 2 weeks over Easter (LDA the following week).

Was there a couple of years ago at halfterm (staying in Oz). Wasn't too bad except first thing in the morning (better if you could get in the lift queue before the ski schools got going) and last thing when the runs back to Oz were busy. Didn't ski the main bowl above Alpe D'huez itself very much though.
