If you’re looking to spend time with horses in Alpe d’Huez, head to Le Second Souffle equestrian centre. Open year-round and set in a stunning mountain location, the centre offers a wide range of activities for all levels and ages, whether you're after riding lessons or scenic hacks through the Oisans landscape.

In summer, you can take part in individual or group lessons including dressage, jumping and pony games, or enjoy half-day and full-day rides. In winter, the centre transforms to offer ski joëring, sleigh rides and even husky sledding. The team also provides boarding and breaking-in services for horse owners.

You’ll find modern facilities, including large outdoor arenas, paddocks and stables, all designed with horse wellbeing in mind. The centre is also home to a unique altitude training track for horses at 2,000m, one of the only ones of its kind in Europe.
