Summer adventure holidays 7 days
|
|
An adventure holiday.
A 7-day introduction to the wide variety of
summer sports possible in this wonderful part of France, based in the
alpine resort of Chamonix.
|
Paragliding |
Normal summer clothing is shorts, t-shirt and
sandals. It's a great place for a holiday.
Our water sports, canyoning and white-water rafting, will cool you down
! And walking out onto the glacier ice is a marvellous cooling experience.
|
White-water rafting |
Via Ferrata |
Aimed at people who have yet to try these sports. This is an ideal introduction
to the wide range of possibilities.
Even our "rest day" on day 4 is action-packed. The view from
the Aiguille du Midi is one of the world's top attractions.
|
Mt Blanc |
Our hotel base in Chamonix offers
3-star luxury.
The Grands
Montets Hotel offers sauna, hamman, a pool and a gym and is in a lovely
quiet spot just outside Chamonix in the typical village of Argentiere. |
|
an all-action adventure holiday
|
|
|
|
A high-quality, action-packed adventure holiday
with a wide range of activities in the week, but always with the
emphasis on enjoyment. This does not require decathalon-level
fitness !
Day 4 is a relaxing day with saunas, turkish baths and massages
all provided to re-invigorate you for the final days.
On day 6 you can take a Paraglider flight (the World Championships
are held here each year).
If there are particular sports which you really do not wish to try
we will always suggest other interesting options. There is nothing
here you HAVE to do - you're on holiday.
Excellent, professional instruction,
high quality equipment,
cable-car tickets and entrance fees are ALL included.
