Getting up the Mountains

by freya_heaven

There are literally 100s of chair lifts, gondela, funiculas, drag lifts, button lifts all over the Alps. All of them of course, work in the winter & a great many stay open in the summer for walkers & people just wanting to enjoy the view from the top. You have to buy a lift pass this can be done for a period of 1 day to a whole season. Prices can be steep, the better the ski area & wider area of the pass the price obviously goes up. I believe the 3 Valleys/ Espace Killy are is the most expensive.

The Snow Train To The Alps

by freya_heaven

The overnight snow train is a great idea, you pick it up in Waterloo, London & it takes to all the way to the Alps, stopping off at several stations local to various ski resorts. Chambéry (for Alpe d'Huez, Le Collet d'Allevard, Les Aillons, Les Deux Alpes, Saint Pierre de Chartreuse)Albertville (for Arêches-Beaufort, Crest-Voland Cohennoz, Flumet, Les Saisies, Notre Dame de Bellecombe, Praz sur Arly)Moûtiers (for Brides-les Bains, Champagny, Courchevel, La Tania, Les Ménuires, Les 3 Vallées, Méribel, Pralognon, Saint Martin de Belleville, Val Thorens, Valmorel)Aime la Plagne(for La Plagne)Landry (for Piesey Vallandry, Les Arcs, Villaroger)Bourg St Maurice (for La Rosière, Les Arcs, Tignes, Val d'Isère, Val Thorens) There are 2 trains you can chose from the Blue or White, the latter goes via Paris. Prices average out at £160.00 return for the direct train.

Walking

by YannickPeeters

The great thing about this vacation is that is a walking vacation. you drop your car somewhere and start walking the hills. The Tour is about one week and there is a litte hut where you can sleep at night ' always different ones ofcourse '. or you can just take your tent !!

Canoeing down the Ardeche

by deeper_blue

Canoeing down the Ardeche river was a really good experience. In August the weather is blistering so bring some sunscreen. Very laid back and serene, fantastic scenery.
