Why
not
trade
in
your
skis
for
hiking
boots
and
mountain
bikes
this
summer
and
experience
the
calm
and
serenity
of
summer
in
the
Alps?
For
most,
the
idea
of
a
summer
holiday
in
the
French
Alps
doesn’t
cross
the
mind,
however
let
me
tell
you
about
one
of
Europe’s
best
kept
secrets
and
some
excellent
reasons
to
check
out
our
Summer
France
properties
in
the
French
Alp
1.
Low-budget
holidays
The
resorts’
peak
season
is
winter,
therefore
in
summer
you
can
definitely
bag
yourself
a
bargain.
For
example,
a
weeks
stay
in
Résidence
Les
Fermes,
Saint
Sorlin
in
a
1
bed
apartment
sleeping
4
in
mid-July
starting
from
as
little
as
£137
for
7
nights.
2.
Countless
outdoor
activities
In
every
resort
there
are
hundreds
of
kilometres
of
mapped
out
paths,
where
you
can
discover
the
nature
and
wildlife,
greet
fellow
hikers
with
a
friendly
‘Bonjour’.
If
you
miss
the
thrill
of
zooming
down
the
pistes,
why
not
give
the
mountain
biking
a
try.
Bikes
can
easily
be
rented
within
the
resorts,
so
no
need
to
worry
about
bringing
your
own!
The
cable
cars
and
chair
lifts
are
open
in
the
peak
summer
months,
helping
you
get
to
the
top
of
the
mountain
if
you
don’t
fancy
cycling
or
hiking
uphill.
3.
Adventure
sports
on
your
doorstep
The
French
Alps
offer
something
for
everyone.
If
you’re
an
adrenaline
junkie
why
not
try
paragliding
over
the
mountains,
for
breathtaking
views
of
the
surroundings
and
just
the
birds
to
keep
you
company.
White
water
rafting
is
perfect
for
adventure
sports
lovers
wanting
a
refreshing
water
thrill,
and
adrenaline
rush.
Via
Ferrata
was
originally
invented
by
the
Italian
army
to
get
their
troops
safely
and
efficiently
across
the
mountains.
If
you
have
a
head
for
heights,
definitely
give
this
one
a
try.
Rock
climbing
is
also
extremely
popular,
whether
you
are
a
beginner
or
pro
there
is
something
for
everyone.
You
just
have
to
be
brave
enough
to
hang
off
a
cliff…
4.
Stunning
scenery
and
backdrop
I
can’t
think
of
many
places
in
the
world
which
are
more
picturesque
than
the
Alps.
Wake
up
every
morning
to
incredible
views
and
enjoy
your
breakfast
or
evening
meal
on
a
terrace
surrounded
by
gorgeous
mountain
scenery.
5.
Relax
and
unwind
Relax
and
unwind
without
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
a
crowded
seaside
resort.
The
French
Alps
offer
a
calming
environment
and
nothing
can
beat
the
fresh
mountain
air.
Rivers
and
lakes
are
never
too
far
away
and
most
resorts
also
have
spas,
offering
the
perfect
environment
to
de-stress.
6.
Location
The
French
Alps
are
easily
accessible
year
round
and
just
a
short
flight

Geneva,
Lyon,
or
Grenoble.
In
the
summer
months
you
may
want
to
rent
a
car
to
easily
access
the
resorts.

coaches
and

also
