Summer ski-ing here in Les 2 Alpes on one of the largest skiable glaciers in Europe is enormous fun!
If you've only visited the Alps in winter, then you've missed out. The weather is normally very warm and sunny during the day, the mountainsides are covered with flowers, the marmots are out and about, there are birds, forests, and snow on the glacier where you can ski, take part in various summer camps, or just admire the magnificent views.
An alpine summer holiday is definitely an activity holiday, (great for kids), although you can lounge by the pool or on the terraces of the bars if you want to get a serious all-over tan, the real beauty is in the variety of activities you and your family can take part in. Here in Les 2 Alpes these activities include:
Mountain biking; climbing and walking; Parapenting; Trampolining; Jump practice trampolining (attached to bungee cords); rowing, pedaloing, canoeing; golf; crazy golf; pitch & put; freewheel gocarting; summer luge (like a cresta run);downhill scooters; archery; tipi village; bowling; pit-pat (sort of crazy golf on tables with pool cues); animal farm; fishing; helicopter rides; quad bikeing; canyoning; rafting; kayaking; bungee jumping (140m); climbing walls; adventure park; paint ball; tennis; squash; swimming; pony trekking; sunbathing!
