If you'd like to put your athletic skills to the test, then there are a number of competitions that take place every summer in the Alps. One such event is the Reebok Spartan Race. This obstacle course is held in locations around the globe, including Morzine.
A holiday in the Swiss Alps doesn't need to be all about extreme sports and reconnecting with nature. While a mountaintop might be the perfect spot for activities like skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and climbing, it's also a wonderful place to relax and unwind - and in Zermatt, you'll find plenty of places to go for some of that all-important me time.
La Grave may be a small off-piste ski area in Alpe d'Huez, but it's also very popular among expert skiers thanks to its exhilarating mountain routes and uncrowded nature. But the future of the resort has been under threat for the past few years, as the old lift operator had decided not to renew its lease.
Recently, a crowd-funding campaign was started in a bid to keep the lift operating, but it has now been announced that SATA, the main lift operator in Alpe d'Huez, will be taking over the operation of La Grave's lifts from June.
If you're planning a holiday in the Alps, one destination you might be considering is Val d'Isere. This French resort is popular in the winter for skiing, snowboarding, while summer visitors love hiking, climbing, mountain biking and just enjoying the beautiful views and fresh air.
The winter months and cold weather mean that snow across the Alps is prevalent, but as the temperatures start to rise and the year progresses into the summer, many of the resorts have to close to skiers and snowboarders. But the good news for those who love winter sports is that there is actually quite a lot of glacier skiing available throughout the summer in the Alps. You just need to know where to look.
