A few summer days in the mountains
The mountains welcome you in winter for snow activities as well as in summer. Val Thorens, for example, offers year-round action. You can try hiking, mountain biking, or rafting for the more intrepid. Want even more excitement? Go on the mega zipline that's nearly a mile long!
Val Fréjus is also a very good destination for exploring the mountains in summer, even just for a few days. Nestled in the Vanoise National Park, it's a place where you can see the unspoilt fauna and flora in this majestic setting.

Recharge in the mountains for a few days
You will also be able to unwind and take advantage of the wellness areas that some of our accommodation offers. Sauna, hammam, indoor or outdoor pool... It's good to take a little time out and not do too much, or you risk being tireder after your holiday! Some resorts think of parents and put on activities for children: look out for sites with a kids' club!
