The location is well suited to families as it is close to numerous amenities including lake side beaches and swimming pools, water and activity parks and a miniature train museum.

The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region

The Lac Leman area is one of the most popular tourist areas in France. Bordering France and Switzerland the region is home to many famous places including Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux and the picturesque town of Evian. The scenery is breathtaking both in the winter and summertime. In winter the cold temperature provides conditions perfect for skiing, snow boarding and cross country snowshoeing. Warm in the summer, the region is perfect for mountain walks, sailing, swimming in lake Geneva, mountain biking, and exploring the Lac Leman region.

The Haute Savoie region is home to the Savoyard people and the wonderful Savoyard style food, with its fondue (melted cheese) and raclette, local wines and cold meats, all of which provide the perfect way to relax at the end of a long day in the mountains.

On the edge of the Portes du Soliel, you have available one of the largest winter sport areas in the world. The region covers 14 valleys stretched out over France (Haute-Savoie) and Switzerland (The Valais). It offers 650 kilometres of slopes, more than 200 ski-lifts, 243 km of cross-country skiing and 9 snowparks.
