summer season

As the snow slowly disappears, walks, rambles and endless hikes become possible. Spectacular scenery, alpine flowers, mountain sun and fresh clean air make any day on the mountainside unforgettable.

The summer months provide plenty of activities.

The more adventurous and energetic can try climbing the "Via Ferrata" - just 5 minutes on foot from Chalet Piplin. Alternatively try mountain biking, paragliding, white water rafting, golfing or take a ride on "The Fantasticable" - a guaranteed thrill! more...

For the more sedate visitor there are many local villages to explore as well as those on the shore of Lake Geneva. Take a boat trip from the spa town of Evian, to Lausanne in Switzerland or along the coast to the medieval village of Yvoire. Venture to Montriand le Lac for Sunday lunch. more...

Sample the local culture by paying a visit to the local village markets. It is an experience not to be missed. Become part of the hustle and bustle of French living! In August, don't miss "La Belle Dimanche" in Plaine Dranse.
