Summer Multi Activity Holiday in the Alps (fully customisable)

All the freedom of an independent trip — with none of the faff.

Want a summer in the Alps that feels truly yours — not a holiday centre, not a rigid group itinerary, but without the stress of spending hours researching, booking, checking safety standards, and wondering if everything will run smoothly?

This is a tailor-made, flexible multi-activity holiday based in the quieter corner of the Southern French Alps. You choose what you fancy doing, and we build a smooth, realistic itinerary around your dates, your group, your activity choices and your energy levels so you can simply arrive and enjoy.

Built for families, couples and friends

Whether you’re travelling as a family with kids or teenagers, an outdoorsy couple after a long weekend, or a group of adventurous friends, we’ll help you find the right mix of activities so everyone has a brilliant time even if you don’t all want the same thing.

How it works: activity points + local expertise

You’ll receive a set number of activity points to spend across our menu of adventures. That gives you genuine flexibility (and makes planning easy for mixed ages and interests), while still having everything professionally organised and supported.

Our team is based here, and we work with experienced, fully qualified instructors and trusted local suppliers — so you get the reassurance and safety standards of a specialist operator, while still enjoying the independence of your own holiday.

Choose from a range of accommodation to suit your style and budget, from camping and cosy guesthouses to chalet or hotel options.

Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive a personal login to select your activities. From there, you hand it over to us: we take care of the bookings, timings and local logistics so the trip runs smoothly. You’ll receive a personalised itinerary, a travel app, and a welcome briefing on arrival so everything feels easy from day one.

It’s your holiday - just without the uncertainty.

Why the Southern French Alps?

• More sunshine than the northern Alps (this region is famously bright and warm with 300 days of sunshine per year)
• Varied topography with high mountain glaciers and large lakes with beaches all within an hour of each other
• Huge variety of activities, from water-based adventures to high-mountain experiences
• A truly authentic, less commercial Alpine feel: real villages, local producers, quieter trails

What this could look like:

There are so many activities and adventures to do, you'll be spoilt for choice! One day you might be splashing through a canyon, jumping into clear pools, the next walking to a mountain refuge for lunch with a view. Add a via ferrata for a proper high-wire challenge, try white-water rafting, mountain biking, rock climbing, paragliding… and balance it all with relaxed lake time. You choose the ingredients - we make it work beautifully.

When to come

This holiday is available from April to September and whilst the range of activities may change during the different seasons, there is enough choice for an action packed Spring half term for families as well as the summer holidays. For outdoor lovers not tied to school holidays there is a huge amount to discover both inside and outside of the summer season! If you are looking for this sort of holiday specifically in the Autumn or for October half term, then please have a look at our Autumn Multi Activity holiday in the Alps.

Itinerary

Day {{ itineraryDay.day }} {{ itineraryDay.title }}

The nearest major town is Gap which is just south of Grenoble and north of Marseilles. Gap has a train station which links to the major TGVs such as Aix-en-Provence, Valence and Grenoble and also has a night train directly from Paris. The nearest airports are Marseilles, Grenoble or Lyon but Nice, Turin and Geneva are also drivable distance.

This is a self-drive holiday. We strongly recommend having your own car so you can get to your activity meeting points easily and make the most of the region in your downtime — lakes, valleys, villages and viewpoints are all best accessed by car, and public transport is limited.

However, if you are a group with a full itinerary and would like a quote for a transport included holiday, please just let us know when you make your enquiry.

If you are looking for a car free holiday, then have a look at our Alps to Provence along the Durance Cycle Touring Holiday as this is a very flexible trip with lots of activity options which can be tailored into a bike and train led multi activity holiday.
