It features more than 250 km of trails, as well as numerous off-piste routes. Managed and maintained by the Sata Group, it\u2019s always kept in excellent condition\u2014especially given the unpredictable weather\u2014and the teams are quick to respond to ensure the trails are of the highest quality.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started skiing at Alpe d\u2019Huez in 1988, and ever since, I\u2019ve been hitting every run in the ski area with the same enjoyment and enthusiasm\u2014and always with caution, because no two days are the same. Weather conditions and crowd levels mean that every meter is always unpredictable. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve also always really enjoyed posting photos and videos of my days on social media, just for the visual pleasure. At the start of the 2024\u20132025 season, I envisioned being able to explore each trail to describe it and rate it, thereby giving everyone the chance to choose THEIR trail based on more specific criteria, as outlined in this article <a href=\"https:\/\/unjourunepiste.fr\/le-systeme-de-notation-des-pistes\/\">: https:\/\/unjourunepiste.fr\/le-systeme-de-notation-des-pistes\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I decided to produce videos showcasing the trails, as well as various other factors that I think are worth mentioning, in order to give skiers who aren\u2019t familiar with the area the chance to find the route that best suits their skill level, preferences, and enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2024\u201325 season saw the release of 1-minute location videos on Instagram at a rate of 2 to 3 videos per week on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/francois.longin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/francois.longin<\/a> account. After a few weeks of production and refinements to the basic template, the videos were gradually reposted as Stories by the OZ3300 tourism office, followed by the Alpe d\u2019Huez tourism office, boosting the series\u2019 reach during the February school break. The season thus ended with 40 runs online and 800,000 views across all posts.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2025\u201326 season marks the launch of this website, which will serve as a central hub for all these videos and those to come. The first 40 trails have also been posted on TikTok <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@unjourunepiste\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@unjourunepiste<\/a> to reach a younger audience. This website will not only store the videos but also offer a wide range of features for selecting a trail based on specific criteria. In a second phase, it will also provide complete itineraries for a full or half day, always tailored to a specific search\u2014such as skill level, enjoyment, difficulty, and more.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second new feature will be the appearance of \u201cGuest Stars\u201d in the videos\u2014skiers just like you and me whom I\u2019ll follow on the slopes to add a bit of variety to the footage. This will also give local skiers and other regulars at the resort a chance to shine. The project is becoming a community effort.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This season, the number of videos produced will increase, offering even more ideas\u2014probably around forty more.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upcoming 2026\u201327 season may see the introduction of real-time data, including live updates on crowd levels, snow quality, and more\u2014all designed to enhance the enjoyment of the slopes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The [UnJourUnePiste] project was born out of my desire to share more than 40 years of experience skiing in the Grandes Rousses mountain range at Alpe d\u2019Huez.
