A holiday in the mountains outside the summer holiday season is a real privilege, especially in spring. A season full of advantages. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Because nature is lush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ah, spring. The trees are budding, the wild flowers are bursting with colour and the rivers are bursting at the seams. It's the perfect time to stroll along the paths, breathe in the fresh air and contemplate the beauty of nature as it awakens from the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n

To admire the magnificent scenery, don't hesitate to visit the Gorges de la Bourne in the Vercors, Mont Blanc<\/a> in the Northern Alps, the Aiguilles d'Arves in Savoie or the Lac d'Allos<\/a> in the Mercantour National Park. It could even be you see marmots<\/a>. But watch out for the patous<\/a> ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Because the first outdoor activities are possible <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spring offers a wealth of outdoor activities to suit all tastes and abilities. From hiking and cycling to climbing and rafting, there's something for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n

In spring, you can enjoy a range of activities, such as ski touring and cross-country skiing on the snow-covered slopes, with safe, signposted itineraries. The first mountain bike rides<\/a> are also available, as are aerial activities such as paragliding, hang-gliding and hot-air ballooning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Because the mountains are calm again <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In spring, the mountains regain their calm after the hustle and bustle of the winter season. The ski slopes empty and the Alpine villages return to their traditional rhythm of life. It's the perfect time to experience the peaceful, authentic atmosphere of the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n
