A region flagged by the peaks of its mountains where hiking and winter sports are king.
Chamonix, Megève, Avoriaz, La Clusaz, Courchevel... the Rhône-Alpes region has both the largest skiing area in the world and the most famous resorts, set above discreet little villages nestling in the valleys. In summer, the white slopes metamorphose into vast green space – ideal for hikers – and the gorges roar with the torrents, which lend themselves so well to white water sports. Take a deep breath of fresh air in the heart of the unspoilt natural surroundings of the Vanoise, Ecrins and Bauges nature reserves; near the Léman, Annecy or Bourget lakes; in the many vineyards or extensive historic countryside; and deep in the Ardèche or Drôme gorges.
Rhone Alps is a region full of contrasts, boarded with the Alps in the east and the Massif Central in the West. This Region has a huge diversity of landscapes, natural parks and climates. The two main characteristics of Rhone Alps are water and mountain. The mountains are more than just a part of the region: more than half the territory is situated at an altitude of more than 500m. According to some experts, there are about 24 specific climates in Rhone Alpes. Within a few miles, the climate changes from a wet climate to a dry one. In the North, in Dombes, the weather changes, according to the seasons, from drizzle to stronger rain.
