At the’Alpe d'Huez, Skiing isn't just about skiing. Alongside the slopes, the resort offers a range of original experiences to help you make the most of the mountains in a different way - thrills, shared laughter and pure emotion guaranteed.
Feeling like a musher in the middle of the tundra
Head for the great outdoors with Mika and his Second Souffle team. Accompanied by their Nordic dogs, holidaymakers set off for a walk to the rhythm of the huskies' panting and the crunch of skates on the snow.

Immersing yourself in the world of sled dogs is a different way of approaching the mountains and experiencing their silence and power. Mika is passionate about his job, the close bond between him and his pack, and the tough but fascinating life of a mushers. When the track leaves the estate for the vast, immaculate expanses, the magic happens.
The thrill of rail sledging
It's the attraction that makes young and old scream with delight: rail tobogganing. Tight turns, jumps, wave sequences and chicanes punctuate the descent at top speed, in an Alpine setting that unfolds at breakneck speed.
Accelerations and loops give you all the thrills of a rollercoaster, but on snow.
A life-size video game with the mountain kart
For those who dream of reliving the mountain version of Mario Kart, mountain karting is for them.
This little racer, mounted on two wheels and a ski, with wide handlebars and a helmet screwed on its head, offers a gliding experience at ground level.
At the start line, the excitement is overwhelming: 3, 2, 1... here we go! One bend follows another, the trajectories cross, and the laughter echoes all the way down.
Find your balance with the yooner
A cross between sledging and skiing, the yooner promises a whole new experience. Installed just twenty centimetres off the ground, you quickly learn to master your balance and play with speed.
The first few descents are cautious, but then comes the moment when you understand the dynamics: the bends become sharper, the glide more fluid, and the desire to overtake your neighbour irresistible.
Pedalling on snow
For cyclists with a craving for summits, winter is no longer a truce. Alpe d'Huez invites you to hop on a Fat E-Bike, an electrically-assisted bike with wide tyres, and explore the snowy paths.
