There are plenty of outdoor activities in the 3 Valleys resort. Why not head to La Tania for the best mountain biking experience? Boasting 256km of marked paths, 16 downhill circuits and 13 round trip circuits, the 3 Valleys is perfect for bike enthusiasts. There are repair shops in the village and you can hire equipment there too if travelling with your own bike is too cumbersome. Beginners can also take biking lessons on the mountains, so there is something for everyone.
With high temperatures, tree lined rivers and stunning snow-capped mountains, summer is the perfect time to go white water rafting in Courchevel. Take on the rapids of the Doron de Bozel River or try your hand at canyoning, climbing canyons and waterfalls in the Bozel valley. If adrenaline-fuelled sports are your ideal way to spend a holiday, why not see the 3 Valleys from the air? Try your hand at sky diving or paragliding for a bird's eye view of the Alps. Or for something less heart-racing, take a helicopter ride or try your hand at quad biking.
Swim and splash
If you prefer to spend the day indoors, there's plenty for you in the 3 Valleys. One of the main attractions is the Aquamotion Centre in Courchevel. Newly opened in December 2015, this is the largest aqua centre in the Alps, with 11 swimming pools, including plunge pools, indoor surfing, children's play pools, river rapids, aqua gyms, climbing walls, a spa, and much more, this is the place to go for an amazing day out. Parents can relax with spa treatments, massages, saunas and hot tubs, while the children enjoy a wet and wild time in the pools. With plenty of packages at reasonable prices and onsite restaurants and shops, everything you need is at your fingertips.
If you prefer to explore the history and culture of the area, Saint Martin is perfect for a quieter day and retains all its traditional rural charm. Head to the church to explore and enjoy its beautiful interior, or if you want a relaxed evening why not head over to the cinema and enjoy a film?
Up and away in a hot air balloon
There are lots of family-friendly activities to be enjoyed in the 3 Valleys resort. Take the children geocaching and search out hidden treasure. Make like Robin Hood and have them try their hands at archery, or for a spectacular day you will never forget, book a hot air balloon ride and fly above the stunning landscape of the Valleys. With crazy golf and horse riding through the region, there's plenty to keep children young and old busy for the whole holiday.
If you'd like to explore off the mountains for a day, take a trip to Chambéry, 'the crossroads to the Alps' and the historic capital of the Savoie region. Providing a 360 degree view of the Alps, why not head north to the Lac du Bourget, the largest natural lake in France, and rent a paddle boat? Explore the quaint medieval sector of the city with its beautiful architecture and narrow winding streets or explore the stunning Cathedral de Chambery.
