French Alps holidays

Sunny summits and sparkling lakes – that's holidays to the French Alps in a nutshell.

Alpine adventures await

The French Alps have long been a magnet for anyone seeking sun-drenched beauty and outdoor fun in the summer. From glacier hikes and Mont Blanc views in Chamonix and Les Houches to sailing and spa days in Évian, trips here offer a satisfying mix of high-altitude thrills and lakeside leisure. Morzine and La Clusaz are hotspots for mountain biking and family-friendly activities, with bustling weekly markets and open-air concerts adding a dash of local flavour. Lake Annecy is perfect for paddleboarding, swimming and scenic strolls, followed by a lakeside lunch of fresh fish and regional wines. Or head to Samoëns for waterfall trails and an historic village where alpine heritage is proudly preserved.
