Some of our family’s most memorable experiences, we hope you will also find them enjoyable :-
If you would like a break from skiing try snowshoeing and we recommend snowshoesamoens.
Monday evenings in winter the ice ring hosts an Ice Hockey Match with free entry, watch from the balcony or pop across the road and watch the fun.
Snow or Sun the Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval is a must to visit and see this area of outstanding beauty with it’s dramatic waterfalls.
There are many refuges in the mountains where you can stop for lunch or stay overnight. Our favourite time is May and June when the wild flowers are at their best and would suggest refuge Alfred Will http://refuge-wills.com/ as a good choice.
If you choose a day out at Annecy, lunch at Arômatik’ (Michelin Bib Gourmand), http://www.restaurant-aromatik.com/ where you will enjoy the fixed 3 course meal for €22 before wandering around the old town, lake and shops.
