Tuesday : The local passion is cycling, so take to a bike.  There are over 30 suggested local routes, from the beginner to the experienced downhill racer.  Our suggestion would be to start easy, perhaps heading for the Lac du Verney, 7km from ADH.  All lifts included on your VISALP pass

Bike rental prices on application - do tell us what standard you are as the prices do go from good value to "Wow - how much!"

Wednesday  Continue trying to tick off the things you can use your VISALP pass for at the sports Centre, make sure you make time for the Luge run, about as much fun you can have whilst sitting down...!

Thursday - If your 'saddle' has recovered from Tuesday, fancy trying to cycle the famous 21 hairpin bends from the valley floor at Bourg D'Oisan to Alp D'huez?  Timed rides are available each Thursday morning.

If not, there are more sedate activities from golf to Archery.

Friday  How about trying some climbing?  The local area around Lac Besson has routes for all ability levels & if you need instruction, this can of course be arranged - just call us on 01737 852242

Or:

Finish the week with a trip to remember, a tandem parapente flight between Alp D'Huez & Bourg D'oisan would be a fantastic reminder of your week here.

These are only suggestions for your week - there is loads of other things to do - we are always happy to tailor an itinerary to your needs  - email us with what you would like

Sample itinerary for Alpe D'Huez - Mountain biking

Based on : 1 week

Approximate Cost : £150pp - depending on bike hire requirements. 

 

Sunday - Start your week easy, perhaps heading for the Lac du Verney, 7km from ADH on one of the red intermediate routes.

Monday - A longer day today, take the DMC lift up to the second level, & then from here it is possible to desend all the way to Vaujany (approx 20km of downhill).  If you have any energy lift, you can repeat the loop under the telepherique de Dome des Rousses, until your 'saddle' tells you it's time for a break

Tuesday - Try out one of the 3 bike parks in the area, or maybe a day of rest?  Enjoy some of the many activities available at the Sports Centre with your VISALP pass
