There's no need to wait for the summer holidays to breathe easy. From June onwards, the 2 Alps<\/a> are coming out of winter with their feet firmly on the ground. On the contrary: the Is\u00e8re resort is starting its summer season with a bang, with skiing, major sports shows and the first steps towards the summits. While the heat settles in on the plains, here it's the altitude that takes over, offering a breath of fresh air, adrenalin and freshness. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five reasons to give in to the call of the mountains, in complete tranquillity, just before the hustle and bustle of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Breathing in the shade of the peaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Away from the heat and overheated asphalt, Les 2 Alpes is a refreshing break. Lakes, waterfalls, torrents, high altitude: nature becomes natural air conditioning. In June, it's the perfect time to discover the joys of white-water swimming, try your hand at paddle-boarding or rafting, or simply stroll along the lakeside with the family. The atmosphere is still peaceful, and the views are already breathtaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Experiencing your first mountain adventures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It's often in June that you get the urge to do a bit more. And that's just as well: the resort offers a host of activities accessible from a very young age. From the age of 10, you can go roped up for a glacier hiking<\/strong> at 3600 metres. For a gentler form of immersion, head for the bivouac at 2100 m<\/strong>campfire, storytelling under the stars and brunch facing the \u00c9crins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
