Mountain Activities in the Summer

Ski-Lifts might be our name, but that doesn’t mean we only offer transfers for skiing holidays…

The Alps and mountain destinations throughout Canada & the USA are spectacular destinations in the summer months. Many of the established ski resorts are becoming as famous for their summer sports, as they are for the traditional winter activities. It is not only the high adrenaline pastimes that are drawing people in, but also the stunning scenery, relaxed atmosphere and clean mountain air.

Resorts such as Chamonix are known for the variety of walking and climbing on offer. Others such as Morzine, Les Gets and Chatel for the endless mountain biking trails. Whilst high altitude resorts such as Tignes and Les Deux Alpes still offer skiing and snowboarding in the summer on their glaciers. Courmayeur is just one of the resorts where you can experience world-class whitewater rafting and kayaking.

It is not just adrenaline sports on offer, many resorts also have fantastic golf courses within them or nearby. Some resorts such as St Gervais have long attracted people for the healing properties of their spa’s. The abundance of lakes and rivers makes the Alps a popular destination for fishing. Many resorts are also now offering relaxation weeks with activities such as yoga, meditation and art retreats being just a few examples.

The Alps also play host to some of the most spectacular annual events. For the Tour De France, the Alps regularly plays host to some of the most exciting stages, with resorts such as Alpe D’Huez being world famous for its climb.
