Dog sledding
Activities
About twenty minutes from Le Cosy Lodge, the Second Souffle equestrian centre (Mesas stables) settles you into a sled pulled by a team of dogs and driven by the musher, along the snowy footpaths of Alpe d'Huez. Two options, a short ride of about 20 to 30 minutes and a longer one of 40 to 45 minutes, meeting at the Altiport (Bergers area) or below the Pic Blanc 1 gondola (Cognet area). A gentle outing that children adore; book early, as you need to reserve at least 15 days ahead.
