How to fully enjoy your stay in the Alps?

You plan to go on holiday in the mountains in the Alps , with family or friends, and you are looking for where to go, what accommodation to choose and what activities to do?

With our partner Villanovo, we have decided to give you all our best ideas to make the most of your stay in the mountains, in the heart of the French Alps.

Rent a large chalet near the snowy mountains

First of all, you need to provide fairly spacious accommodation, both modern and typical of the mountains for an excellent stay in the Northern Alps . Nothing better than opting for the rental of a large chalet or a beautiful luxury villa at the foot of the slopes, large enough to go with friends or several families!
From your living room or your balcony, comfortably installed, you can admire the panorama that will be offered to you right before your eyes. Nothing better for spending good times with loved ones in the middle of pristine nature, in a peaceful and relaxing environment.

Visit the hottest ski resorts

Are you spending a few days in the Alps and do you want to do sliding or leisure sports or just walk around and breathe the fresh air? Courchevel, Megève, Val d'Isère, Chamonix or Méribel are among the most beautiful and luxurious winter sports resorts in the Northern Alps.
The ski resort you choose will mainly depend on the atmosphere you are looking for. If you want a ratheryoung and trendy atmosphere , you will have to go to the resort of Courchevel which has the reputation of being a place dedicated to parties. If you are looking for a place that is just as famous but rather family , prefer the Méribel valley, the largest ski area in the world.

Fly over Mont-Blanc in a helicopter

To leave with your head full of beautiful images and enjoy a breathtaking view of a fabulous mountain landscape , we advise you to take a helicopter ride that will take you to the giant of the Alps, the very famous Mont-Blanc which culminates at 4810 meters above sea level! It is an aerial adventure that is described as exceptional and full of very strong emotions .
The Mont-Blanc site is one of the top 3 most visited places in the world . Being able to admire it from the highest point of view is a privilege whose memories remain imperishable.

Learn to drive on ice

Want sensations? We invite you to discover driving on an icy track to learn how to control a vehicle in winter weather . To do this, simply book a driving course and you will be trained by a qualified professional instructor who will teach you everything you need to know to control a vehicle on ice and snow !
You will take the wheel of sports cars that can skid, slide... and thanks to the advice of the pro driver at your side, you will no longer have any fear of driving on ice. A very fun sporting activity.
