Summer in the Alps is one of our favourite times of year! There are so many activities and adventures to do, you'll be spoilt for choice! Walk in to a high mountain refuge 'en famille' and explore the Ecrins National Park, take your fiancée paragliding for some spectacular views, challenge your head for heights on one of the biggest via ferratas in the Southern Alps, slide down a natural toboggan and plunge into deep pools of clear water canyoning, give someone an adrenalin rush to remember by sending them down the longest and fastest Tyrolean zip wire in Europe... go mountain biking, white water rafting, rock climbing, kayaking..... the choice is yours! 

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

FAQ

How many activities do I get with my points?

All the activities are worth different amounts of points. For example a via ferrata is 2 points,  river kayaking is 1.5 points and canyoning is 3 points. For a week with 10 activity points per person, you should expect to experience about 5 high quality activities.

Does this holiday work for families with different aged children?

This is a perfect holiday for different ages and even generations as each person can choose different activities if they wish. We have a wide variety for all tastes, from yoga and nature walks to giant zip lines and canyoning. We make sure it all works logistically so that your holiday runs smoothly taking into account each individual's needs.

How much is the deposit?

You pay a 25% deposit when you book and the rest is payable six weeks before your holiday.

Itinerary

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

The nearest major city 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 and Lyon 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.

We highly recommend you self drive rather than let us drive you to and from the activities. The area has so much to offer and for you to explore in your free time 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.

All challenging enough, yet not too daunting for the family (Dad and 2 teenage boys). We got a sense of achievement and thoroughly enjoyed all activities. The guides were excellent !<\/p>

Every activity we undertook was in small groups. Certainly no issues with waiting or lack of attention from the guides. It felt like an almost exclusive experience.<\/p>

Christophe and C\u00e9line will prepare a delicious breakfast for you every morning for the previously agreed time and put it in a big basket at the end of a rope.

A beautiful treehouse perched on top of three larch trees with stunning views over the Champsaur Valley and the Ecrins mountains. 
<\/p>","description":"

If you're looking for a unique place for your holiday, the luxury treehouse will probably exceed your expectations. In order to reach the luxury treehouse, you will need to drive all the way to the end of a beautiful mountain road with stunning views over the Gap valley. This road will take you to a place that will probably remind you of the fairy tales your parents read for you when you were a child : nestled at the foot of an awe inspiring peak, surrounded by a beautiful forest and with amazing views over the surrounding valleys. <\/p>

The owner, Christophe, owns a forestry management company - and you can easily tell that wood is his thing ! He spent a whole year working non-stop on this quality wooden cabin located at the top of three tall larch trees. The main room is small in size but it is equipped with everything you can expect from a modern and comfortable little house. There is a small kitchen in one corner with a sink, a fridge and other appliances, a bed for two on the other side of the room, and a separate bathroom with a shower, a toilet and a washing machine : you could theoretically spend a few days up in the tree house without the need to come back on earth ! <\/p>

The views from the wooden balcony are among the most stunning we've seen as we've been visiting dozens of local accommodations over the years. It really is the perfect getaway for a romantic holiday.
