If you fancy something fresh and exciting, or perhaps a healthy alternative to the beach, then try an activity holiday in the French Alps. Discover a mountain playground with stunning scenery and a plethora of activities to suit everyone - from adrenaline enthusiasts to active families. With over 50 activities to try, the hardest part will be choosing what to do!
Try activities like mountain biking... horse riding…wild swimming… and whitewater rafting… or just relax and take it easy. The Alps have spectacular lakes and mountains for walking and sight-seeing; with mountain restaurants and plenty of sunshine for lazy afternoons by the hotel pool. Something for everyone…
We include some of the best activities for free with our holidays, with more than enough to do for a week (or two) away. You can even dial up the excitement with our Adventure Upgrade, or opt out of the free activities and save with Active Lite. What’s more, our Mountain Team will be on hand all week to give you itinerary suggestions and Route Cards for some great walks and bike rides.
The Alps are vast and waiting with dozens of activities to discover. Our Mountain Team plays a vital role in helping you make the most of your week away, whether it’s finding the best bike rides and walks or booking you onto some amazing (and free) activities.
Our chalets and hotel are full of alpine loving Brits in summer: likeminded families and friends looking for a fun and energising break to our beautiful world.
The Alps were made for walking and biking and that’s why we include a free lift pass for walkers and free use of our excellent fleet of bikes, all maintained by our team of in-house mechanics. The trails are some of the best in Europe and suited to all abilities: from family walking to adventurous hikes and casual bike rides to world class downhill courses.
We often organise social walking groups with other guests or guided hikes with a local mountain guide, (which are even included with our holidays to Tignes).
If it’s some more serious biking you’re keen to try then we’ll hook you up with a downhill bike lesson (beginner to expert); or help you find a specialist bike guide who can take you farther afield to experience the wider region.
Our mountain resorts are home to beautiful alpine lakes. They offer a perfect day out with lakeside activities, restaurants, wild swimming and watersports. We giveaway a free session of kayaking or paddle boarding in Morzine and Tignes; or you can just relax and sunbathe in peaceful surroundings. For something with a little more adrenaline, try the Wi Bit aqua park on Les Gets’ lake or the giant waterslide on Tignes’ lake.
Our Mountain Team plays an important role in your holiday. We employ a creative bunch of mountain-mad individuals who are on hand all week to make sure you have a great time; and that you make the most of the Alps and all its activities.
They will plan your free activities, organise any transport (if needed) and can give you itineraries for a great day out, with epic walks and bike rides for all levels. Our child care leaders will keep your children busy in our Active Clubs so you can zip off and do some grownup stuff, safe in the knowledge they’re having a great time!
Our Active Kids Clubs are open 5 days a week: Mini Kids (4-7) and Juniors (8-12). It’s a great opportunity for kids to meet new friends and try new experiences under the care of our Childcare Leaders, while parents enjoy some precious ‘me-time’ to try some activities for themselves!
A catered chalet is a cosy home-from-home where you can stretch out and enjoy the hospitality of your own chalet host. They also come with a bike hire upgrade, (for early bookers), and access to our Kids Clubs, plus our famous package of Free Activities. You can join on a shared basis; or book one privately for your friends and get free group spaces.
Our exclusive hotels are run by us for our British guests and equipped with everything you need: from our bike workshops, (with mechanics), activity equipment, entertainments and leisure facilities like a pool and spa. They offer the perfect base for an adventure holiday for active families, couples and bike enthusiasts.
If you’re looking for an active holiday with a little more adventure and an added dose of luxury then our 4* boutique hotel Tetras Lodge is hard to beat. It comes with inclusive activities and professional mountain guides for hiking and biking adventures. Suitable for ages 12+
Many of our guests choose to self drive to the Alps, simply because it’s not as far as you might think and it’s a lot less costly (and kinder to the environment) than flying.
Whilst a car isn’t essential in resort, it does give you a degree of flexibility so you can bring as much luggage as you want and travel at your own agenda. We offer free parking in all our resorts.
Our chalets and hotels are full of like minded British families with kids aged 4 to 17. We think our Tignes programme is better for kids aged 12+, but Morzine and Les Gets are perfect for younger families with plenty to do for all ages.
Families love our welcoming atmosphere and friendly hotels where excursions can be enjoyed with other families: like whitewater rafting and tree top adventure parks; or a trip to the lakes or pony riding to name but a few.
At Alpine Elements we design our holidays to work hard, so that you don’t ever have to. It’s why a holiday with us is created to give you as much (or as little) to do as you want.
There are numerous activities in each of our resorts, for all ages and tastes. In fact, around 50 different activities to choose from - so everyone from mum to gung-ho teenager is covered! Choose from calm and easygoing pursuits like walking or tennis, wild swimming and lake kayaking to adrenaline busting adventure like canyoning or downhill mountain biking. We also offer many free activities with enough exciting pursuits for an action-packed week away.
You don't have to be a regular athlete to enjoy our holidays! Far from it in fact. The activities we offer suit almost all levels of fitness and our Active Team will help guide you to the best activities for your taste, age, fitness and ability. There is also sightseeing, gondola rides and cultural things to do with great walks, sedate lake activities and sunbathing for the not-so-adventurous. Most activities come with an instructor or guide, so you will be well cared.
Of course! Our chalets and hotels are full of families with kids from age 4 to 12 all Summer long. Our chalets and hotels are family friendly and offer a welcoming atmosphere with our all-inclusive Active Kids Club.
There is more than enough to do! In fact, probably too much and that is why our Active Team are always on hand: to make sure you pick the best activities for your age, fitness and taste and you don't waste time doing the wrong thing! They’ll also hook you up with booking additional activities from rock climbing to parapenting and canyoning to paddleboarding.
No, not at all, unless you want there to be? After all, you’re on holiday and we like to give you the flexibility to plan your own week (with our Active Reps) when you arrive.
We’ll give you access to our fleet of free hire bikes (all week) and an Activity Multipass with resort activities and a pedestrian lift pass (plus a bonus ‘biking lift pass’ in Tignes) so you can get around and do your own thing.
If you want it all organised and a week crammed full of adventure then speak to our Actve Reps on arrival and we’ll help you make the most out of every hour you are there.
The Alps have some of the best riding in the world, but they also have a great network of beginner trails for every ability. There are family rides and more adventurous green and blue graded bike trails; and harder downhill courses for the experts. All trails are served by the lift system and lift passes are from €5 per uplift, or free in Tignes! Our resort staff will help you get started in resort and give you some great ride suggestions, maps and route cards.
Our Alpine Hotels are run exclusively for our British guests. They are staffed (largely) by British staff with a warm service and an easygoing and sociable air.
However, we've added a little twist and our own formula of fun to help our guests make the most out of the Alps.Our mountain-mad staff have special training to make sure our guests enjoy the activities and make the most of their stay. They also enjoy a central position and extra facilities like free mountain bikes and workshops, Active Kids Clubs, free-to-use sports equipment, sunny gardens, stunning views and spa areas with Wi-fi (of course) and outdoor swimming pools so you can enjoy the sun.
The French Alps are parallel with La Rochelle and other Aquitaine resorts of the west coast. In summer, the Alps enjoy warm weather and lots of sunshine with an ambient temperature between 25C and 38C during July and August. In common with mountainous regions we get localised rainy patches, but it’s often short lived and quickly gives way to sunshine again. The sunniest (and hottest) resorts are Tignes and Val d'isere which enjoy a very southern location and up to 300 days of sunshine a year. Make sure you bring lots of sunscreen and sun hats, because the weather at altitude can be hot in all resorts.
