Cycling
The Alpe d’Huez is one of the great climbs of the Alps, but there are other famous climbs such as the Galibier/Croix de Fer/ Lautaret.
The area also caters for mountain biking with many marked tracks. Or would you like to try the Megavalanche?
Solneige trophy
During our first summer in Solneige we noticed that there is quite a bit of rivalry between the bikers who climb the Alpe d’Huez: who is the fastest? In order to stimulate this rivalry we initiated the Solneige trophy. We will keep track of the faster times and at the end of the season we will present the beautiful Solneige trophy to the fastest cyclist. At the same time we admire everybody who goes up the Alpe d’Huez; it is very heavy climb which taxes everyone to his limits. Reaching the top is really something to be proud of.
