Hotels in French Alps, France

The French Alps stretch across eastern France, near the borders with Switzerland and Italy, with a climate that brings snowy winters and mild, sunny summers. Famous for its high peaks like Mont Blanc at 15,771 feet (4,808 meters), the region offers world-class skiing in resorts such as Chamonix and Val d'Isère from December to April, while summer months from June to September are perfect for hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc trail or paragliding over Lake Annecy. The northern Alps (Haute-Savoie) focus on glacier skiing and alpine lakes, while the southern Alps (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur) provide warmer weather and cycling routes like the Alpe d'Huez climb.
