Mountain Biking - This is excellent
mountain biking country and a good range of cycles
can be hired in the local sport shops to suit all
abilities and ages. Details of numerous mountain biking
trails can be obtained from the village tourist office
- routes all marked according to their level of ease.
(Storage space is provided in our cave for your own/hired
cycles.)
Walking - Numerous beautiful
walks can be started directly from outside our studio
door taking you through gentle grazing pastures, glorious
woodlands, lush valley villages and of course across
mountain top trails. During summer months (July/August)
many chairlifts are open for pedestrians several days
per week in the area taking you to higher mountain
resorts. Here the choice is yours to either amble
leisurely down or return via chairlift. A book detailing
many of these pleasant walks can be found in our studio.
Local Markets
Chamonix with its
dramatic backdrop of Mont Blanc is quite spectacular.
Combine this with a trip up the Aiguille du Midi and
experience the delights of this high altitude station
with the panoramic views of the valley below (it is
advisable to catch an early morning lift, as the sun
and temperatures can be strong during summer months).
Sallanches with its picturesque market square
and town centre facilities make a lovely day out -
combine this with a picnic by one of the many nearby
lakes and waterfalls during summer months.
Saint Gervais
has the Mont Blanc mountain railway closeby, where
you could take a ride through some wonderful local
mountain scenery. (Lower altitudes reached during
winter months).
Combloux has a weekly market and is an ideal
place to purchase some locally produced products.
Annecy has a beautiful location and is often
referred to as the Venice of France. This ancient
town is full of character and architectural charm,
lots to see and do and deserves a full day out!!
There are numerous towns and villages to visit and
each one can be quite different from the last - explore
for yourself and experience the delights of this wonderful
region.
