Summer guide to Val d'Isère: make the most of your summer holiday in this famous French Alps resort when the snow has gone for the season.

However, when the snow melts, it remains a top notch resort for outdoor activities with activities such as white water rafting and mountain biking stepping in to fill the void left by skiing. If you come when the thermometer rises, you’ll still be guaranteed to have a range of activities available for all ages and abilities.

Whilst it is possible to do the via ferrata unaccompanied as long as you have all the relevant equipment and experience, we advise getting in touch with the tourist office as they can recommend local expert guides who will really help you get the most out of the experience.
