The highlight on the 6 km Brandes trail is a medieval castle ground. Nearby the pistes at the DMC middle station is the 10 km Poutran-trail which cross-country skiers can use to get to the "Hippodrome" practice area. The round trails can be used in both directions, and right-hand traffic applies on French cross-country trails. Equipment hire and cross-country ski lessons can be booked in Alpe d'Huez.
