The mountains really are an adventurer's playground in summer and there are so many different ways to explore them.... rafting, kayaking, via ferrata, canyoning, tree climbing, caving, mountain biking, walking, paragliding.... or just relax and soak up the southern Alps sunshine.
As there's so much to choose from we have created a flexible holiday so you can pick the activities you fancy and let us tailor make your ideal activity week.
Choose from a variety of accommodation, transport and activity options to tailor make your perfect activity holiday.
All Prices Include:
• 7 nights accommodation in a choice of camping, self catering, bed and breakfast or hotel accommodation
• 4 activities of your choice from the list below.
• Maps and route advice for local walks and things to do in the area.
• Choice of transport options (transfers and local transport to and from activities can either be provided by us or you can self drive)
With this holiday, you can choose any four of the following activities:
• White water fun - hurtle down the rapids of the Severaisse or the Drac in either a raft or one or two person inflatable canoe... but beware the smaller the boat the bigger the rapids will feel!
• Kayaking - this is a great trip across the the Lac du Sautet - a deep blue lake with a stunning mountain backdrop - there aren't many better places to paddle your canoe.
• High Ropes Adventure - hurtle down a zip wire, climb up a spider net, negotiate the wobbly log staircase, tip toe across the tightrope wire.... High Ropes Adventure Courses are designed to challenge you vertically, horizontally and personally!
• Via ferrata - if you like a challenge and like being in unusual situations, you'll love via ferratas! Climb across exposed rock faces and through narrow gorges, across precarious rope bridges... safe in the knowledge that you are securely attached!
• Canyoning - run or slide down wet slabs of rock, jump off blind escarpments, scramble up rocks, splash around in pools and abseil down drops.
• Tree climbing, - explore that cool, peaceful, leafy canopy of a tree, swing from a branch, or just sit up high and yell madly at your mates down below! It is also possible to upgrade this activity and spend the night in the trees sleeping in special hammocks.
• Caving - discover the underground labyrinth of the limestone Devoluy Massif.
• Mountain biking - 1/2 a day guided mountain biking off road on cross country tracks adapted to the groups' level and ability. It is possible to upgrade to a day or have a session down hilling at the bike park.
• Walking - 1/2 a days walk in the mountains with a mountain leader to show you where the marmots are hiding! It is possible to upgrade to a full day.
• Paragliding - get the best view of the valley as you fly in tandem with an instructor.
• Night in a Refuge - there is a whole network of mountain refuges scattered over the Alps. They are there to provide food and a place to sleep to walkers and mountaineers as they journey in the mountains away from the luxuries of civilisation! You don't need to walk for hours to get to one and experience the 'mountain refuge' ambience and it's a pretty special experience!
