Top 5 Things to Do on our Bucket List this Summer Hucksters Lodge

Eat out

We’ve missed eating fresh local cuisine! And it’s usually with a view out here in the French Alps. There are so many cafes, restaurants and bars we want experience again… Le Jardin in Villeneuve for their delicious crepes, Le Coeur de Vall for its spectacular views… There are so many, it’ll be hard to choose from! As lockdown eases in France, it’s anticipated that our evening curfews will end on 30th June.

Via Ferrata

There’s no better way to see the mountainous landscape than by rock climbing – the views from the top, wherever you are, are worth the effort! Our favourite is Le Casset in Serre Chevalier’s valley and Le Rocher du Bez in La Salle les Alpes.

Spa Day

It has to be on your list, right? We’re all in need of some time in the pool and jacuzzi, not to mention those indulgent spa treatments. Top of our list is a deep shoulder and back massage followed by the sauna. Le Grand Bains du Monetier and Ô des Cimes Altitude SPA in Peisey Vallandry are out favs.

Scootering the mountain trails

It’s a craze started earlier in the year with people hiring scooters to explore the landscape. If you fancy a break from hiking or mountain biking, this is for you. We haven’t tried it yet, but would love to have a go!

Be a culture vulture

The resorts have organised a corker of events this Summer from jazz concerts to film festivals. We just want to sit back and soak up the culture with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Bastille Day is on the 14th July – hoping for a great party atmosphere that day!! For Peisey Vallandry’s What’s On see here or Les Arcs. Serre Chevalier
