After a long day of cool activities you can perfectly relax in one of the thermal baths or explore the nightlife at the après ski.

After winter, the French Alps come to life with a beautiful color palette and blooming nature. Enjoy the

fresh spring breeze

during a walk through the alpine meadows, or rent a bike to explore the idyllic mountain roads. Stop along the way to have a delicious picnic between the green alpine meadows. This is also the perfect period to visit a local flower festival. In spring the babbling rivers are full of fish, perfect for a day of wild water fishing. The rapid rivers are also perfect for rafting or kayaking.

If you spend your summer in the French Alps, this guarantees a vacation full of joy and adventure. You can go on long hiking trips and enjoy the unspoilt nature. In summer the mountains come alive with their

wild flowers and local animal species

Fall is a beautiful season to enjoy a vacation in the French Alps. The trees have beautiful colors, the trails are quiet, and temperatures are often still pleasant. Fall is also the perfect season to visit a vineyard and enjoy a local wine and the calm atmosphere. Furthermore, on local markets you can taste many more
