How to spend nice holidays in the French Alps?
The French Alps is a wonderful place to spend a moment with family or friends. For the summer or in winter, you can find there everything that makes great holidays : fresh air, wonderful sceneries and a lot of things to do, wether you love sport or are rather fond of nature.
Let’s give you some pieces of advice to help you choose how, when and where going to discover the French Alps and their wonders.
Choosing the right resort
You can find many places to go on holidays in the Alps. The nicest resorts are located in the counties of Savoie and Haute-Savoie: the location is known for its wonderful weather in the summer, and because you can find there amazing ski possibilities in the winter. Some resorts are rather small, built in the way of small villages, while other ones are pretty gigantic and offer as many commodities as you can find in any big city.
It is quite the same concerning the accommodations. You can find anything you need from the small studio to the big mountain cabin for 12-14 persons or more. We recommend that you contact a specialized agency, you will find many of them on the internet. For example, if you want to go to La Tania, which is a lovely resort on the skiing area of the 3 Vallées, you can contact Agence Saulire on the internet or by phone. Agence Saulire is also working in La Tania with flats and studio to rent and will be able to provide you exactly what you are looking for.
Going there in the summer or in the winter?
As we said earlier, the winter will be the perfect season for you if you enjoy skiing, or any other winter sport. But if there are in the family people who do not like it, they still have many possibilities. Snowshoe hiking for example will lead you to discover the fascinating way in which nature adapts itself to climatic conditions, and you may have the surprise to encounter the local wildlife. You also can try dog sledding, which is a really great thing to experience. And if you do not like sport at all, choose a resort where there is a swimming pool and spa area, the perfect way to relax while your sporting family is enjoying its ride.
In the summer, you will find many activities in the mountains. Most of the sports are available in this kind of holiday resorts: tennis, biking, canyoning, hiking, etc. You even can find golf courses in some resorts, like Courchevel or Meribel for example. Even if you have young children, there is something to do in the French Alps. You can find there everything you need to create nice souvenirs in an amazing setting. Mountain summer holidays will thus provide thrills and adventures for the whole family, while breathing pure air that will reconnect you to yourself.
As you can see, the French Alps are the perfect place to have nice and busy holidays. Let yourself be tempted!
