Activities that we organise

Non-skiers can enjoy walks along well marked local paths or join an organised guided walk on Raquettes and see the mountains from a different angle being able to see Chamois, Mouflon and other shy alpine wild life. Take the plunge and have a go at under ice diving in one of the lakes in the area or take to the sky for a peaceful flight above Chatel on a tandem parapente flight. An afternoon at a Swiss spa is a lovely way to relax and unwind. Shopaholics will love the varied shopping in this part of the world, with the Oakley and Quiksilver shops in Avoriaz or take a drive down to Thonon and Evian with it's famous casino. But of course for the ultimate shopping trip visit Geneva with it's designer clothing, jewellery and not forgetting the watches!
