What to expect on an Alpine Holiday

Of course! Whether you’re a solo parent or a complete family, our chalets and hotels are full of like minded British alpine lovers with kids aged 4 to 17. Families enjoy our friendly and welcoming atmosphere; and our excursions are designed for families to be active together, and not apart. 

However, we do have a free Active Kids Club in Morzine where parents can drop their kids off for a few hours while they get to enjoy some activities for themselves, safe in the knowledge that your little-un’s will be meeting new friends and enjoying new experiences with our childcare leaders.

The Alps in summer are sunny and warm with temperatures between 25C and 38C during July and August. We get rainy patches, as is common in mountain areas, but the rain never lasts for long. Often we forget how far south the Alps are located. Quite far south of Paris in fact, and on a similar latitude to La Rochelle in Southwest France. So it’s unsurprising they get their fair share of good weather. Pack plenty of good quality sun cream, light rain macs for the odd shower, shorts and T-shirts.

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.
