One of the things I love about Alpe d'Huez is the variety of off-piste activities available like the outdoor swimming pool, leisure centre and ice skating rink. Even better is the fact that these are covered in the price of your lift pass if you have a week's pass
Skate hire is extra if you go ice skating

The go karts are electric but do have decent acceleration though we soon discovered that pure speed isn't necessarily the best way to win when you're driving on ice! It takes a few corners to work out how to power slide effectively and where to brake.
