After spending 4 hour yesterday looking at Tourism websites for what felt like every Alpine resort area between here and Balkans…I’m looking for a nice alpine (or sub alpine like the Jura/Vosges) place to take the wife and kids for a couple of weeks.
Needs to be/have:
– Reasonably priced accommodation (happy to spend £1k for 2 weeks)
– Ideally no more than 1 (very) long days drive or 2 short days drive from the Chunnel.
– Fun Stuff for the Kids ages 6 and 8. (High ropes, play grounds, swimming pools, water park that sort of thing)
– Easy Family Cycling. They have done Minortaur at Coed-y-Brenin. Eldest would likely want to do harder stuff. Wife and young ‘un less so. Pleasant valley floor cruises to lakes etc would be ace.
– Reasonably Decent Trail riding (not necessarily lift serviced). Would likely take my Chromag trail hardtail. Not scared of a bit of climbing. For self/marriage preservation reasons, I’m probably not interested in throwing myself down a Bike Park.
Looking at Saalbach Hinterglemm, La Bresse, La Deux Alpes, Innsbruck
Any tips gratefully recieved!
