Alps Attractions  If your family likes the great outdoors then you are assured a fantastic holiday in the Alps.  It's not really the sort of place to go to if you need to be entertained, but if you are used to entertaining yourself and to having lots of exercise, then you will have a delightful time here.  We have dedicated sections on walking and cycling, as well as some lovely Alpine towns.  But here are a few other attractions worthy of mention, some of which offer different kinds of activity!

Outdoor adventure park at Serre Chevalier:

Location: Just off the N91 west of Briançon.
General Information:  Open May to September. Minimum age 8 years.  Tel No: (0)4 92 24 90 57.
Description: This outdoor ADVENTURE PARC^® is the original park offering acrobatic courses in the trees. Here, in total safety (individual equipment and surveillance), over 100 games are proposed for whole families to enjoy ( for age over 8 and a minimum height of 1.50 m arms stretched). These range from climbing walls to balancing beams and tarzan jumps to monkey ladders. Try also the"Sensations Course" where a wide net spread under the whole course allows for feelings of freedom, vertigo and optimum safety!  And to finish a wonderful day, you have to try the famous bungee jumping. Snack-restaurant on site.
Our recommendations: For families with slightly older children this makes for an ideal, if somewhat active day out.
