You will be staying in the heart of the French Alps with all the cycling from the doorstep of the chalet.
In addition to the cycling you are doing on the schedule, we also have these activities available to you should you want to explore the area in your free time.
Walking
There is fabulous walking from the door of the chalet. 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.
Swimming
The chalet borders on to the lake, which is the perfect temperature for open water swimming in July (without a wetsuit). If you want to swim in a pool, you can catch the boat from beside the chalet and head down to the 50m pool at Annecy.
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. Open to children over the age of 8, this is a superb adventure in the mountains. Guides and equipment are provided.
White Water Rafting / Hydrospeed / Canoe-Rafting
20 minutes drive from the chalet, near the town of Aim, is France Raft, the 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
The paragliding trips leave from just outside the door of the chalet. There is nothing in the world like soaring above the mountains and lakes on a tandem paraglide flight. 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 for all of the family 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.
Chalet Facilities
The chalet has a terrace and a hot tub and a beach on to the lake. 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
All transport is provided according to the schedule, for additional journeys please speak to one of our team about organising for you.
