Nature lovers' paradise
Close to the ski slopes in winter and the mountain bike trails in summer, our hotel puts at your feet the 21 legendary bends of the Alpe d'Huez immortalised by the Tour de France and kilometres of mountain bike routes. Moreover, this mythical climb and other passes in the Oisans are reserved for cyclists without car traffic on certain dates and times in the summer.

Alpe d'Huez, the world spotlight of cycling!
Hiking enthusiasts will not be left out with 250 km of marked hiking trails and the discovery of 12 emerald coloured high altitude lakes which add to the beauty of the landscape. You can also take a seat in the Grandes Rousses cable car to admire the Pic Blanc, the highest point of the resort at 3,330 m, which offers an exceptional panorama of the Ecrins National Park and its prestigious peaks such as the Meije, the Barre des Ecrins, the Aiguilles d'Arves, the Belledonne chain and Mont Blanc.
For those who want to get to know the local people and their way of life, the Route des Savoir-Faire de l'Oisans offers you the opportunity to put together an itinerary that will take you to the homes of creators, craftsmen, artists, farmers and producers.
