Why You Should Choose Sainte Foy as a Summer holiday destination!!
Spending time in the mountains doesn’t just have to be confined to the winter months. In fact, the Alps are arguably at their most spectacular during the summer. Snow-capped peaks, lush green meadows and crystal-clear mountain lakes provide a stunning backdrop that simply takes your breath away! Summer in the Alps means fewer crowds, better deals and amazing activities in the sun. Here are just a few of the reasons why Sainte Foy is the perfect spot to spend your summer holiday….
1. Huge choice of summer mountain activities
Choose between the traditional holiday activities the French Alps can offer or the more challenging ones sure to get your adrenalin pumping! From walking and biking for the explorer’s to paragliding and white-water rafting for the thrill seekers!
The French Alps are made for family adventuring too. With aerial assault courses, horse riding, swimming and rock climbing nearby, you’ll find you can entertain the kids from dawn until dusk (and even in the middle of the night – stargazing, anyone?). There are plenty of alpine rivers and lakes that provide an endless playground for those of you who love water too. There really is a mountain of activities on air, land and water at your fingertips. Each day holds something new…. Your only problem will be trying to fit it all in!
2. Quiet & relaxing summer vibe

You can admire the stunning mountain views, appreciate the ambient temperatures and discover the diverse flora and fauna right on your doorstep! With the option to enjoy a relaxing pamper session, a dip in your private balcony hot tub or read a book in the glorious sunshine, you’ll be spoilt for choice on the many ways to “sit back and relax!”
There’s no need to break a sweat, it suffices just to be there. Lose yourself in the beautiful scenery, the peace and quiet, the smells … you’re on holiday!
