Summer

If you have not been to the Alps in summer you will be amazed at what is on offer (we were!)! Come and discover the delights yourself – before everyone else finds out!

 Normally known for its snowcapped peaks, the mountains are transformed by the carpets of flowers under blue skies and sunshine. The tinkling of cowbells, the birdsong, and distant chimes of the church bells are the only sounds to disturb the peace and tranquillity that surrounds you.

The area is a paradise for holiday makers – there is something for everyone. Enjoy the myriad of marked trails for walkers, or for the more energetic numerous routes for mountain bikes. If you prefer to let the horse do the work riding is available along the Giffre valley. The nearby lakes and rivers offer superb fishing, sunbathing or swimming, or for the adventurous there is whitewater rafting and canoeing through the gorges and down the rapids of the river Giffre; Or, you can look down on it all happening below you as you drift through the skies on your paraglider. Don’t hesitate to contact us for further details or for help in organising activities for you.
