The Rhône Alpes region is so called because of the river and the mountain range that draws its relief. Rivers, lakes and mountains therefore make up the landscapes of this region. Eight departments are divided into this natural heritage: Ain, Ardèche, Drôme, Isère, Loire, Rhône, Savoie and Haute-Savoie. Many departments for many leisure activities!
In winter, go to the ski resorts to try your hand at a winter sport: dog sledding, skiing or snowboarding, snowshoe hiking and, for the more adventurous, a little mountaineering? The ski areas are accessible for the whole family. Some even offer accommodation in tipis, yurts or tree houses, you can't say you don't get some fresh air! One morning, in Chamonix, take the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi terrace, located at an altitude of 3,842m. Discover the breathtaking view of Mont Blanc, surrounded by its snow-covered mountains, by tasting a Savoyard dish. Too much altitude? Go back down to the Rhône Valley, an agricultural region downstream of Lyon, and visit the Provençal Drôme.
In summer, hiking, horse or pony rides and bike rides via the green lane are recommended. Any means are good to travel through these natural spaces! But if you want a little more thrill, via ferrata and climbing have nearly 1000 routes in the Drôme. As for the sensations it is possible to practice bungee jumping, the region also has several bases where it is possible to play paintball with friends or family. Also, nature lovers will not be disappointed, this region of the South-East is full of natural sites as unique as they are impressive: the Massif des Bauges, the Ecrins regional park, the Chartreuse, Queyras or the Vanoise national park. Several outdoor activities are ideal for a family trip: canyoning, horseback riding, paragliding, a hot air balloon flight, there is something for everyone! After that, opt for a picnic by the lake under a mountain sun. As for adventure and nature lovers, they will be able to learn with a survival training. More than a walk in the woods, learn to be in harmony with nature and use its resources to manage in complete autonomy. Besides, what do you say to test canoeing in the Gorges de l'Ardèche? You would have the possibility to pass under the Pont d'Arc, a 60m high limestone arch! For culture lovers, there are historic sites hidden in this region with its rich architectural heritage.
