Top 5 Things To Do On Our Bucket List This Summer

This past year has been like no other and like most of the UK, we can’t wait to get back outdoors again and enjoy al fresco dining and outdoor activities this Summer. The weather in the French Alps has been a bit hit and miss these past few weeks, so there’ll be no stopping us this Summer (Covid permitting of course!) from getting out for some French sunshine. Here’s what’s on our bucket list to do this Summer season.

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

Customer Reviews

The staff were more like friends than employees and knew the area very well. Can't fault them. They sorted an issue with my wife's ski pass with as little stress as was possible. To start your day of skiing one had only to walk about 20m from the door, pop your skis on and off you go. You could eit...

S.K.

Always wear your helmet and be mindful of the position your skis are pointing when carrying them around to avoid accidentally hitting anyone.

Top Tip

Just a quick note to thank you all for hosting the Bennett clan the other week, we had a great time and are hoping to return with Hucksters for the new year.

M.B.

This is the 4th year we have stayed at Mont Blanc, we have opted for the en suite accommodation in PMB. If you are looking for 5 star luxury look else where as you will be disappointed, if however, you are looking for a fun friendly atmosphere where you can wear slippers or ski boots for a week then...

H.W.

Hucksters, are to be highly recommended as they offer a very personalised service at package deal prices and take a genuine interest in making sure you have a good time. I have done 4 trips with them in the last 2 years so they must be doing something right!
