A Typical Week in the Alps

We recommend visiting Lac Montriond to perhaps try some wild swimming, a woodland walk and of course to make use of our inclusive paddleboarding and kayaking excursion! 

Our Active Team will be at the lake to meet you and you can choose to either take out a stand up paddleboard or a sit-on-top kayak . Each session lasts for about an hour and if you have any energy left you can extend your time on the water with the kayak centre. It’s a beautiful lake and our guests love to explore this tranquil waterway.

After the session, why not go for lunch at a lake restaurant or walk up to the goat village (a village of goats) which is about a one hour walk from the lake, up towards Lindarets and well worth it. For a shorter walk then a loop of the lake on the footpath is a beautiful walk to do with younger kids.

Day 4 can start with our excellent (free and inclusive) excursion to ‘Cascades Adventure’, which is a tree top adventure park at the Nyon Waterfalls. The activity lasts for just over 3 hours and there are courses for Kids aged 6-13 and an Adventure PLUS course for confident 13+ and adults.

This was one of our most popular activities for 2023 and as an inclusive activity for our guests - it’s another sociable excursion to be enjoyed with other Alpine Elements guests. It’s also an enjoyable 30-40 min ride or walk up to the waterfalls to start the activity - which is a popular alternative to the free resort bus.

Afterwards, you can take lunch in the Cascades cafe or order a pack lunch from our hotel and walk to the Lac Mines D'or which is a stunning, bucolic alpine lake and the start point for many a beautiful walk. Our Active team can give you a Route Card for these walks.
