Most people dream of a beach & sunshine but why not try something new this year?  A summer chalet holiday in the Alps can be a lot of fun and with sunshine, fresh air & amazing scenery.

The Alps are very much alive after the ski season is over and offer plenty of activities and places to visit.  Why get bored sitting on the beach when you can be picnicking in alpine meadows with colourful wildflowers and the sound of tinkling cow bells or adrenaline rushes on a bike down the mountain.

So you would like to try an Alpine holiday and think it would be great to get the children being active; where do you go?  The majority of alpine resorts are open for business, it can be a little quiet in June & September but July & August many families and friends visit the resorts but it is never as crowded as the winter.  If you looking for lots of organised activities then Chamonix is the mecca for climbing, walking the Haute Route, parapenting, white water rafting, canyoning etc.  Zermatt is just as famous for the summer as it is winter. 

Many resorts will offer a variety of activities but you can just easily go walking or cycling. The alpine trails are easily followed and many of the larger lifts are open to take you up to the top of the mountains for a 360 panoramic view.

 Walking & biking are free activities (if you take your own bikes) thus a self catered alpine summer holiday can work out very good value.  The chalets in the summer are much cheaper, flights are less expensive or take the scenic route and self drive from the UK. 

All ages we are sure will love the mountain biking which has something from everyone, from gentle forest trails to full on adrenalin descents. There are also fantastic bike parks with specialised routes down mountains with many jumps which are graded from beginner to expert.  Or there are scenic trails along relatively flat routes progressing up to following the Haute Route.
