Lake Annecy

Reviewed By Curious54739211 - Vancouver, Canada

With one of the cleanest lakes in Europe, this is worth a relaxing stop for 2-3 days to amble along the lakeshore, take a boat excursion on the glacial-fed turquoise lake, hike or cycle, try some delicious raclette and make sure to wander beside the canals of the old town at night with glowing lanterns. Wonderful.

Ultimate Snowsports Tignes

British Ski & Snowboard School in Tignes & Val d'Isere.Offering ski and snowboard lessons for all levels and all ages. From 3 year old children, to advanced coaching and off-piste guiding!

Reviewed By F5688MWluket

I visited Tignes with a large group of friends last week - All of which were intermediate/advanced skiers, and when compared to me only having had one lesson at the snow dome prior to flying out, it was safe to say I was a beginner. I met with Tom on my first day of skiing for a private 2.5 hr morning lesson and wasn't expecting to come away as confident as I did. He was so professional, gave great advice and just an all round great teacher/instructor. We started off going down from the half way point of some green runs to assess how easily I could stop and how much control I had etc. Once I felt more confident with stopping/turning we then went down some blues. By the end of the lesson I was parallel skiing going down some fast blues, with Tom right behind me. After the lesson had ended, I rejoined my group of friends and felt confident going down every blue in Tignes / Val D'isere and even ended the holiday on the third day going down 3 red runs. I would 100% recommend a private lesson as you get the instructors full attention and they can really get to work on your technique. Also cant recommend Tom enough - He took me from someone who had never ski'd on real snow before, to going down blues and reds and all from one x 2.5 lesson. Cheers Tom!

Puy-de-Dome Volcano

Reviewed By 4KiaraS - Chester, United Kingdom

This was the highlight of our trip to the Clermont-Ferrand area. The hike to the top is about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on your pace. It does get a little more strenuous as you get the the top - and quite steep on the way down, so wear proper hiking shoes. Foe those with mobility issues (or young children) there is the option of taking a train, but if you're able-bodied, you'll want the experience of the hike! There is a middle option - there's a parking lot a little higher up the mountain that cuts about 20-30 minutes off the hike. That lots tends to fill up before the lower lot tough, so go early if you plan to be use that option. There's also a restaurant and a restroom at the upper parking lot. The views along the way are breathtaking. The height of Puy de Dôme is 1,465-metres. At the summit, it's nothing short of magical! We were fortunate enough to be there on a clear day where we had a perfect view of the Chaîne des Puys (volcanoes), Monts Dore and Monts du Forez mountains, Clermont-Ferrand and the Limagne plain. There's a path around the summit so you can take in the full panoramic view. I was shocked to see how many sheep were at the summit! The summit also provides restroom facilities, restaurant, gift shop, ruins of a Gallo-Roman temple, a meteorological observatory and a visitor information center. It took us 75 minutes to hike to the summit and about 45 minutes to go down because we went with the momentum and were basically running all he way down. Be careful - it gets slippery!! This is definitely something not to be missed! Bring a refillable water bottle and wear proper hiking shoes. It was hot when we went, but if you're visiting in cooler months you may ant to bring a light jacket for when you're at the summit.
