A summer holiday in the Alps? Yes it's amazing!

This summer why not avoid the extreme heat and huge crowds of the usual coastal destinations and head to the glorious Alps where the air is fresh, the sky is blue and most days it's t-shirt weather too?!

The resorts are open and they hold a variety of local and cultural events throughout the summer to keep you entertained. With a multitude of activities on offer from mountain biking, hiking, road cycling, rock climbing to white water rafting and kayaking to name but a few and chalets in peaceful and beautiful locations, you can be as active as you like or simply rest and recharge with the views of the stunning mountains.

This summer 4 of our chalets are available on a self-catered basis for a fantastic alpine holiday. Stay in La Rosiere in Chalet Caspar or Chalet Chocard, or in Montchavin La Plagne in Chalet Snowflake or Chalet Edelweiss on a self-catering basis for a week and discover how amazing summer in the Alps can be. Even a simple walk in resort will introduce you to an array of beautiful flowers only to be found in theAlps and if you’re lucky, this is the best time to find those illusive Marmottes!
