Travel to the heart of the Alps!

A playground bursting with color and flavor for your next stays!


If, for you, mountain holidays are all about skiing, think again! The Alpine range is an incomparable setting for summer sports enthusiasts of all levels, all while staying in France.

With a diversity that is sometimes unexpected at first glance, endless possibilities are available to you to organize your active holidays according to your taste.

And since there's more to life than just effort, a trip to the heart of the Alps offers an incredible array of local specialties to recharge your batteries.

Beaufort, reblochon and other génépi or chartreuse will undoubtedly help you complete your stage of the day!


From day hikes to long-distance treks

Multiple route options in the heart of the Alps


Beyond the legendary Tour du Mont Blanc, countless routes, each more varied than the last, are within your reach. From the most accessible trails in the pre-Alpine massifs of Chartreuse, Bauges, or Vercors to more challenging treks, everyone will find a path to suit their abilities.

All you have to do is choose your scenery: a balcony route with views of the high peaks, a crossing of alpine pastures and/or a ridge walk, nights in a refuge, hotel or guesthouse: lace up your shoes, buckle your backpack and off you go on your alpine journey!


On the way to a journey to the summits

Your first steps in the heart of the Alps


Having spent so much time observing the high mountains from the trails, are you itching to explore the upper levels? Progressing roped up, pacing your effort, walking with crampons, handling an ice axe are all new skills to learn.

Learn the basic techniques of mountaineering before tackling more challenging climbs. And why not try climbing Mont Blanc?

While it's the ultimate goal for many, it's not the only summit worth exploring. Budding mountaineers will be particularly captivated by the slopes of Gran Paradiso, an ideal training massif in Italy: an opportunity for a first "4000m" peak with a breathtaking panorama.

You will also have the opportunity to experience the joys of staying in a mountain refuge.

This time, in addition to shoes, crampons will be required: off you go for an active holiday at high altitude! For those who fall in love with the mountains, why not take a look at our travel suggestions to Nepal?


And because the French mountains are not limited to the Alps, consider varying your stays, set your sights on the Pyrenees!
