Ice-Driving in Rhone-Alpes

A unique experience awaits you in the region of Rhone-Alpes. Driving is taken to the extreme with ice circuits carved out of glaciers for you to drive on. Alpe d'Huez is the place to be if you want the challenge of controlling a Porsche on ice.

This opportunity is open to the general public individuals and groups. Ice driving is a very specialised sport that is not found readily around the world. Learn the techniques of rally drivers to power slide around corners in rally cars. It is a truly adrenalin full ride from start to finish.
