Have an Alpine adventure

This resort was created for the 1992 Winter Olympics, but after the snow has melted, activities available include a circus school, swimming, basketball, volleyball, football, boules, fencing, tennis, walking, climbing, cycling, mountain biking and canyoning. The choice of accommodation includes Chalet Rousset, a beautiful wooden chalet with six bedrooms sleeping 13, that is within easy walking distance of the resort centre. Prices are decidedly less expensive during summer than the ski season: £1,750 for a week in July and £2,160 in August, on a self-catering basis. Catering can also be arranged at an additional cost.
