Activity Choices
The unique terrain of the French Alps near Geneva and Annecy mean there are a huge variety of activity choices for all interests and abilities within minutes of our chalet hotel in St Jean de Sixt.
On our weekend activity holidays in the sun you could be kayaking on Lake Annecy in the morning, and after a relaxed lunch in the mountains, be clinging to a cliff on the Via Ferrata in La Clusaz in the afternoon. Such variety and choice of activities mean the weekend can be tailored specifically to your interests to ensure there is never a dull moment.
The trails and tracks in the mountains above La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand make for some fantastic walking and mountain biking, or for something more unique try downhill scooters. High up above you on the towering cliff faces, the via ferrata courses promise an adrenaline fuelled adventure, whilst hidden in the trees near 
Grand Bornand the adventure ropes course will have you flying through the forest on zip wires. If you get a taste for it, you could do a tandem paraglide from Grand Bornand, La Clusaz or Annecy - paragliding is a stunning way to see the Alps.
A short drive towards Lake Annecy takes you to the Canyon d'Angon, providing the setting for an action-packed morning canyoning, abseiling over waterfalls and sliding down water smoothed rocks. Continue down to the lake for kayaking, sailing or just sunbathing and swimming in the cleanest lake in Europe. If watersports are really your thing, there is also some world-class white water rafting near Samoens, or towards Val d'Isere 
and the Savoie, both within an hour and half drive of us.
