Italy is very close over the Col du Petit St Bernard which opens up after the winter snow so why not nip over for a pasta lunch or an Italian ice cream?  Explore some of the many lovely mountain villages nearby or visit one of the local summer fetes.

Summer sporting activities include mountain and road biking, hiking (so many wonderful walks right from the door), white water rafting, canyoning, swimming, adventure parks (ideal for children), horse riding, summer skiing, golf and tennis.

For those guests who prefer a more relaxed approach, we can arrange Pilates and Yoga classes with local teachers, or perhaps a day at a local spa or one of the local outdoor swimming pools.  We also have the renowned Chez Merie restaurant right in our village which has a lovely open air pool in the summer – enjoy a delicious lunch and then simply relax for the rest of the day by the pool.
