For the Alps the season is all year round. No sooner has the skiing stopped than the flowers erupt in a palette of colour, the grapes in the high vineyards start to ripen and a new generation of hikers, bikers and climbers discovers a Promised Land with summer chalets in the Alps. The region stretches from the foothills of the Jura in the north to those of Provence in the south, with dramatic contrasts between wooded valleys, sunny pastures and craggy snowcapped peaks. Self catering in the Alps gives you maximum choice and enables you to take your pick of the many sporting activities that mountain resorts, such as Chamonix, Morzine and Les Gets have to offer, including climbing, mountain walking or white water rafting.

But if you’re feeling less energetic, summer chalets in the Alps often allow you to enjoy spectacular mountain views from the comfort of your holiday home. The cable cars offer access to higher slopes and you can try summer skiing on the glaciers above Val d’Isère or Tignes. The lakes of Annecy, Le Bourget and Geneva also have much to offer, including watersports such as windsurfing, sailing or water skiing, as well as swimming and boat trips. And if all this is not enough, day trips across to neighbouring Switzerland are also possible.
