Book your next summer holiday up in the mountains

Are you often told that you do things differently to everyone else? For your summer holidays this year, stay clear of crowded seaside resorts and go breathe in some fresh air up in the mountains. The mountains are great regardless of the season - especially when you are staying in one of our holiday rentals!

Aim for the top this summer by travelling to the mountains!

Are you not part of the people who think that the winter is for going to the mountains and the summer for going to the seaside? You have a knack for adventure and know how good it feels to reach for the sky while others are down below fighting for a spot on the beach. Booking your summer holidays up in the mountains is far from being a punishment. You will enjoy the peace and quiet, the breathtaking landscapes, the great prices and the many activities available. 

If you really need more arguments to convince you of where to book your next trip, simply tell yourself that a summer holiday up in the mountains means:

• lower prices - up to half the price of seaside rentals;
• calm and tranquillity - far from the bustling seaside resorts;
• hundreds of open-air activities;
• cool mountain temperatures - while others are battling with heat waves;
• swimming in mountain lakes and rivers with their crystal-clear waters;
• an authentic heritage and high-quality local gastronomy.

A jam-packed agenda for your summer holidays up in the mountains

Whether you prefer going for a picnic in the fields and dozing in the shade of the trees, or going rafting down a raging river, the mountains have lots to offer. If you book a summer holiday rental up in the mountains, you will never be bored. Indeed, in addition to cultural visits of picturesque villages perched up on mountains peaks, you will be offered a myriad of incredible activities.

For those who love to swim, though there are no beaches, you can dive into the turquoise waters of the Allos lake in the Southern Alps, or the Lac Vert in Valmeinier. For those who love a good thrill, you can go rock-climbing, do via-ferrata, go rafting, canyoning, zip lining, hiking, paragliding, mountain biking and more. For younger travellers, there are many farms to visit in the area, which is a fun way of teaching kids about how cows are milked, how cheese is made and what crafts are typical up in the mountains.
