Multi-activity holiday in the French Alps
No minimum age for children.
Description of Multi-activity holiday in the French Alps
This multi activity holiday in the French Alps is fantastic for families with teenagers and older children but can also be tailored to groups, couples and even businesses thanks to its unique flexibility.
You’ll be based on the doorstep of the Ecrins National Park, where the valleys of the Champsaur and Valgaudemar provide over 300 days of sunshine per year. Our holidays are tailor made, which means that you’ll be able to choose from a range of activities to suit you and your brood, from canyoning to mountain biking to paragliding. You’ll also be able to decide where you stay for the week, with options including camping, traditional Alpine bed-and-breakfasts and self-catering chalets.
We’ll meet you at your accommodation when you arrive and provide you with maps as well as suggestions for walks and other days out. Our multi activity holiday works on a points system with each activity having its own points value. Ten points per person are included in your basic holiday price for one week, with the option of buying extra points if you wish.
If you like flowers, the best time to come is May, June and July when Alpine meadows teem with orchids, orange lilies and many other beautiful plant species. For Ibex spotting, the best time is May or June when they are in the lower pastures making the most of the recent snowmelt! July and August are lively and hot so perfect for watersports and sunbathing at the lake – although not sweltering and always cooler in the evening so you can sleep!
