The Allemond valley<\/strong> doesn\u2019t stop surprising you. Beyond cycling and skiing<\/strong>, the area around La Douce Montagne<\/strong> offers a remarkable range of experiences<\/strong> from the adrenaline of a via ferrata<\/strong> to a lazy afternoon on the water<\/strong>, from trail running<\/strong> at altitude to soaring above the peaks by paraglider<\/strong>.

The surrounding region has plenty to offer beyond the mountain. The Maison du Bouquetin in Rivier d\u2019Allemond<\/strong> tells the fascinating story of the ibex reintroduction in Belledonne<\/strong>, while the nearby hydro museum<\/strong> explores the engineering marvel that literally runs beneath Allemond<\/strong>. The Golf Course<\/strong> at Alpe d\u2019Huez<\/strong> offers 9 holes with one of the most dramatic backdrops of any course in France.<\/p>

And for a change of scene entirely, Grenoble<\/strong>, a vibrant city with excellent museums, restaurants and shops<\/strong>\u00a0 is less than an hour away. On a bolder day, Turin<\/strong> is within reach for a spontaneous Italian escape.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Kevin and Carmen have a selection of route descriptions available at the hotel to help you plan your rides.<\/p>\n \n \n \n\n
