The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
The Alpes Maritimes region of France has a wide contrast of landscapes with beautiful Mediterranean beaches at the coast and spectacular mountain scenery a little further north. The area is dotted with quaint villages, many with charming restaurants and historic buildings.
The Mercantour National Park is a haven for flora and fauna and is a thoroughly enjoyable place to relax in its serenity. Wildlife includes the bearded vulture, marmottes and chamois which have all been sighted around Isola 2000 which is in the peripheral area of the park.
The Cote d’Azur with its well known towns such as Nice, Cannes and Menton is a vibrant place to visit. The village of Tourettes-sur-Loup is well worth a visit with many small shops and lovely views.
The Alpes Maritimes are the most southern alps in France and often have better snow conditions than the resorts further north as was the case in December 2006 and January 2007.
Isola 2000 area
WINTER The chalet is situated above the main resort of Isola 2000, near the Hameau area. Isola 2000 offers excellent skiing throughout the season; suitable for beginners and intermediates alike. However there are plenty of challenging runs for those who enjoy the thrill of black pistes. The resort has invested in over 160 snow canons to ensure that the slopes are always in great condition and because of it's altitude (1800-2600m) Isola 2000 boasts a high snow and sun record.
There are 43 pistes (7 green, 21 blue, 11 red and 4 black) and 22 lifts (2 cable cars, 9 chairlifts, 10 Poma / button lifts and 1 funicular) and the resort is continually updating its lift system.
The Ecole du Ski Francais has 110 instructors in the resort and lessons may be booked online via their website. Alternatively we can highly recommend and book an independent instructor for you.
SUMMER During the summer season there are many activities at Isola 2000. Such activities include horse riding, fishing, swimming in the outdoor pool, tennis, mini golf, archery and mountain biking. There are many wonderful walks in and around Isola 2000, particular favourites being the Lacs de Terre Rouge and Tete Merciere at the top of the valley.
