The French Alps

If you think the Alps is for skiing – think again. From the sensational resort of Evian to the wonderful treasures around the lakes, there’s stunning golf and breathtaking scenery to enjoy.

One of the most spectacular regions in Europe, the Rhone Alps is framed by mountains, the Rhone and Saone Rivers, lakes and vast valleys of farmland, lavender fields, olive groves and vineyards. It’s heaven on earth!

Famed for skiing and the best food in the world, the Rhone Alps also has a hidden attraction .... wonderful golf courses! Courses designed by the likes of Pete Dye and Trent Jones, courses which host the world’s richest tournament for ladies and courses that are amazingly picturesque. Most of them are in the warm valleys and are open all year-round... After all, the warmth of the South of France is just down the road.

You can get to the Rhone-Alps by plane, train or automobile. There are regular flights to the three airports, a motorway all the way from Calais and we can also organise travel by high-speed train with a hire car or private transfer waiting for you.
