You will be staying in the heart of the French Alps with all of the activities a short drive from the chalet. For the pre-arranged walking we will drive you too and from the chalet.
In the afternoon, we have the following facilities available in the area for your time off;
Walking (Self-Guided)
There is fabulous walking from the door of the chalet, for all fitness levels. Whether you want to mosey around the local villages or head up to a mountain top, we provided guided walks or, if you want some time to yourself, talk to us about the best places to go.
Adventure Assault Course
There are lots of Parcours Aventures in the area, which are similar to Go Ape in the UK. Swing from the trees, cross rope bridges and zip-wire through the forest.
Canyoning
Shoot down natural rock-slides, abseil down cliff faces and jump in to mountain pools. Following the river downstream, canyoning takes you in to the wild places for some extreme fun. Guides and equipment are provided.
White Water Rafting / Hydrospeed / Canoe-Rafting
Nearby to us is a white water rafting base. They have a host of activities for all ages and it is a great place to hang out, have a BBQ, and watch everyone come down the river. We highly recommend all of their activities!
Mountain Biking
There are 1000s of km of bike trails through the Alps. You can choose to follow a flat path along the river or head up to the ski lifts and hurtle downhill. We provided guided mountain bike rides or can advise you where to go to have fun. Bikes and equipment can all be hired locally.
Horse Riding
There are riding schools or places to hack out through the valley. If you want to head in to the mountains for the day, we can arrange hacks for all riding standards. Guides and equipment are provided.
Paragliding
There is nothing as magical in the world as soaring above the mountains and lake like an eagle. The paragliding is very close to the chalet. We highly recommend you have a go and the instructors we use are all fully qualified so you’re in the best hands.
Climbing
There is some fabulous climbing in the area. Climbing is great fun and you can be sure of a good work out. Take a guide and head out to the local climbs for beginners through to advanced climbers.
Summer Skiing
Summer skiing is available in Tignes, an hour’s drive from the chalet. This can be arranged if required. If you don’t want to summer ski, we suggest you visit Annecy Lake for lake swimming, water skiing, windsurfing and other water activities.
Swimming
There are plenty of swimming lakes in the region or you could chose to visit Annecy Lake. It is boasted to be the cleanest lake in Europe and is a wonderful place to swim surrounded by the mountains and grass beaches. A great place to hang out on a hot day!
Chalet Facilities
The chalet usually has spa facilities (which we will confirm before you arrive). There is a communal lounge, with cable TV, DVDs and games, and a large communal dining room. Meals are served on the times outlined in the programme.
Transport
We will transport you from the airport, to and from the local walks and, on your day off, to the local facilities. If you chose to do something more than 45 minutes drive from the chalet, we may have to charge you minimal petrol costs.
