Acitivity and Recuperation. . .
The best-kept secrets of the Alps come out of hiding in the summer. You can bask in glorious sunshine as you take in the lush green meadows, snow capped peaks, sparkling rivers or maybe even have a chilled glass of wine or two.
Family weeks are a tremendous idea because everyone could get to do something they want to do on the holiday. You can choose to do the activities together as a family, or each person can do their own thing during the day and come together in the evenings. You can do as many or as few activities as you like, mornings, afternoons or both! If you would prefer to do nothing, there are plenty of places to relax and do nothing in! There are also plenty of non-sporting options including cultural excursions, painting or just sitting in our garden reading a book and relaxing.
There is enough flexibility for everyone to get what they want out of the holiday and the chalet will enable you to relax after your day in our hot tub whilst your children are occupied either playing in the garden, watching a DVD in their room or playing a game in the additional living room.
Possible ways to fill your time are;
- Indiana Parc, Samoëns
Dreams of being Tarzan or Indiana Jones? Dreams of olden day adventurers or modern day explorers? At Indiana Parc, your dreams will become a reality whether you’re young or old. Climbing up ladders, running along footbridges or swinging through the trees on jungle vines, you will be kept busy for hours playing in complete safety surrounded by beautiful woodland.
- Le Lac Bleu, Morillon
Le Lac Bleu is located 500 metres from the centre of Morillon on the banks of the river Giffre. There is something for everyone, whether you want to sit on the terrace of the restaurant/bar watching your children play whilst you take in the atmosphere of the mountains, or partake in one of many of the lakeside activities. There is never a bored moment when you have so much choice; swimming in the lake, mini-golf, tennis, volleyball, fishing and horse riding. Families can walk around the lake or in the woods alongside the river – whatever your taste Le Lac Bleu is the ideal starting point.
- Le Cité de l’Eau, Geneva
A unique water park on the boarders of Le Lac Léman, catering for old and young water enthusiasts alike. Go and play for a day in the diving pool, 100 metre giant water slide, children’s pool with champion spa pool, 2 jacuzzi’s and ample poolside relaxation zones. If you don’t fancy swimming or fooling around in the water, then why not work out in the gym or relax in the saunas whilst your children are carefully watched over at all times by fully qualified life savers.
- Le Parc du Merlet, Mégève
Le Parc du Merlet is a 25 hectare animal park that offers spectacular views and all the animals you normally find on the mountain, (if you haven't already seen them on your walks!). From the big-horned Ibex to the shy Chamois and rare Mouflon, this park is a must for children and adults alike.
