The Alpes du Sud region of France is the area where Mediterranean culture meets that of the Alpine, bringing its own unique character. Mountain ski-resorts combine with rustic villages to provide an experience which is difficult to find elsewhere. If you enjoy snow, sun and skiing, a visit to an apparthotel Alpes du Sud, will provide you with a wide range of activities. Appealing both to those wishing a quiet family holiday, to thrill-seekers wanting to hit the ski-slopes.
The area spans the regions of Rhone-Alpes close to the borders with Switzerland and Italy, and whilst the main attractions are for those wishing to enjoy the skiing facilities - including resorts such as Chamonix and Chambery - there is much more to the region than skiing.
The self-proclaimed 'Capital of the Alps', Grenoble, is a beautiful destination, with a rich history stretching over 2000 years. Its attraction as a destination lies in the quality of its ancient cultural buildings, including its Bastille. There are also cultural and artistic attractions, such as the Museum Dauphinois, and the Bastille Art Centre, which display a wide-range of French art and artefacts, which cannot be found elsewhere. Grenoble also hosts several annual festivals, with the Jazz Festival in March, and the Caberet Frappe music festival in July. These events especially should not be missed!
As the region straddles both highlands and lowlands, the climate can vary depending on altitude. Yet the climate is pleasant during the summer months, with warm summer days of 25°C and little rain. An apparthotel Alpes du Sud, would allow you to experience both the culture of Grenoble whilst also enjoying the action offered by the ski-slopes.
