Going to the mountains with your family in summer

The mountain wins you! Family holidays in the mountains in summer provide as much sunshine and excitement as the sea. Whether you are rather sporty or relaxed, the mountain has what it takes to please you! We have found accommodation that is used to welcoming families for your holidays in August.

A family holiday with nature activities

In summer, the mountain offers many activities such as paragliding, via-ferrata or canyoning for the older ones, the indoor swimming pool or the discovery of fauna and flora for the younger ones. Discover the Village Club du Soleil Les Karellis to fill up on family activities. With unlimited access to the swimming pool, the Famille Plus resort is a real paradise for children. Many activities are proposed, such as via ferrata and archery, but also more unusual animations such as the mini-farm or trampoline. A multi-activity map allows you to have many family discounts, as for the forest acrobatic route next to the Village Club.

The seaside resorts are in high demand and very expensive. By booking your family holidays in the mountains at the end of August, you spend on average 70% less than at the seaside in high season! Among the mountain destinations, the Southern Alps resorts are the cheapest in France. In the heart of the Southern Alps, the Residence Les Balcons des Airelles aux Orres awaits you for a family stay with free access to the swimming pool, sauna and whirlpool and a superb panorama of the valley and surrounding mountains. The resort gives priority to the well-being of children: adapted structures and activities for children, a pedestrian station centre, a daycare centre for children from 6 months to 5 years of age and a club for 6/12 year olds.
Discover the Jura and the Swiss Jura at the Village Club du Soleil Bois d' Randonnées in the family swearing by the mountain in summer Upstream and its fitness area with free access (covered swimming pool, sauna, hammam and fitness room). You are near the border to discover the Swiss part of the Jura and in the heart of the Natural Park of the Haut Jura to discover the fauna and flora of mountain and the superb lakes of Rousses and Lamoura. Sportsmen and sportswomen are not to be outdone: water sports, mountain biking, horse riding, orienteering, canyoning or via ferrata!

Finally, for a holiday in the mountains with your baby in summer, we recommend the Residence Les Jardins de la Vanoise in Pralognan. Located at less than 2000m, the heart of the resort is not too high and the Olympic complex and its paddling pool is ideal for baby swimmers. In summer, the resort is the landmark for families who love nature, with the green valley and glaciers of the Vanoise. For children, activities are offered in summer with Pralokid, a nearby UCPA centre, or in the ranches for horseback riding with the family. For a holiday between nature, sport and relaxation, the resort of Pralognan la Vanoise is the perfect place for families looking for authenticity!
No, the sun is not only in the South! The mountain is one of the most exposed places, so you can sunbathe with your family, the heat being more bearable than by the sea. Take advantage of the many mountain lakes and aquatic centres to swim with your family, or take a pedal boat ride with the children! In particular, you will be more calm, away from the crowds of beaches by the sea.
