Activity holiday in France

For adrenaline junkies we are pleased to offer a non stop adventure week. Try out some of the best Via Ferrata around, then test yourself with easy rock climbing. Swing high at the High Level Forest Adventure park, shoot down the fun summer luge, launch yourselves into cold water canyoning, test your nerves cross country biking, and take 2 days out for great walking and scrambling – staying over in a refuge.

The picturesque medieval town of St Martin Vésubie sits at the head of the Vésubie valley. It is a quintessential French mountain village nestling amongst steep pine clad slopes and overlooked by the towering peaks of Cime du Gelas and Caires de Cougourde – two of the highest points in the Mercantour Park.

It is the perfect base for exploring this central area of the park. During your stay with us, we will spend time on the boulders and rock faces of Valdeblore, and will be exploring some of the main valleys that converge onto the Vésubie for scrambling routes. The Vésubie valley itself has several deep gorges that run into it where well tried canyoning routes of various grades can be found.

On each evening, we will give a description of the following day’s activities, and the following is a short account of these. It is impossible to be precise about what will be selected on any particular day, because it is highly dependant on prevailing weather conditions. More often than not we can keep to our schedule because of the predominantly clement weather, however the mountains have a funny habit of surprising us from time to time.

All activities are lead by fully qualified mountain leader/specialist activity personnel. Accommodation is in comfortable self catering gite, B&B or hotel options. Weekend and short breaks also available. Activity content and length of stay can also be tailored to suit your requirements.
