Family holidays can be the most wonderful experiences imaginable, or in some instance more like nightmares beyond comprehension. And needless to say, the latter of the two headers is the one that usually hangs over holidays with teens. Even on a ski holiday where the purpose of the trip is clear and everyone’s on-board with the idea, things can turn sour very quickly and put a real crimp on the whole trip. The funny thing is though, a little forward…
It’s so easy to assume that the only thing you need to do to take stunning photographs of the French Alps is to point and shoot. After all, every single square inch of the area is quite frankly gorgeous and a wonder to behold for anyone. However, those looking to take really great photos will soon find out that it really isn’t quite as simple as it looks. In fact, photography in mountainous areas can be a serious challenge for…
The thought of a trip to the Alps always conjures up images of living the high life and rubbing shoulders with the elite, but in reality, this isn’t always the case at all. Or at least it doesn’t have to be as once you step off your Alps2Alps transfers in any of the key resorts across the French Alps, you actually find a ton of amazing things to do that won’t cost you a penny – most of which you…
Some would argue that the biggest thrill you can experience in the French Alps is that of flying down hundreds of slopes at break-neck speeds, and maybe they’d be right. However, there’s another group that would argue rather differently and tell you that in order to find the biggest rush in the Alps you need to look a little higher. Yes, along with the very best skiing in the world Alps2Alps airport transfers can also be your gateway to paragliding…
I was recently coaxed into heading for a ski trip to Les Deux Alpes which I have to admit took some doing. Not that I’m dull as dishwater and twice as bland, but the thing is I’d never strapped on a ski in my life and figured I’d be way out of my element in the French Alps. I mean, to me this was like Silverstone is for racing drivers – not exactly the place to first dip your toe…
There’s really no better way on Earth to see a full cross-section of society that by running coach transfer services for holidaymakers – of at least that’s my experience of things. Allow me to explain; I’m a coach driver currently working with Alps2Alps airport transfers and spend most of my working life getting folk from the arrivals hall at Geneva Airport to where they need to be and then back again at the end. Sounds easy I know, but I’d like…
Sure the summer’s great for some, but for any dedicated powder-heads it’s one of the most bewildering times of year. I mean, it’s not like it’s easy to find decent snow and slopes when its heading for 30 degrees in the shade, so what’s a poor soul to do until things start turning nice and icy again? There’s always the option of spending the summer getting fat and miserable until the alps2alps ski transfers start running again, but what about…
Every year, hundreds of thousands of British tourists pass through Geneva Airport on their way to any of dozens of destination in the French Alps to indulge their ski passions. What’s more, most will adamantly claim that they have every intention of making the very most of their trip and checking out all their chosen resort has to offer, soaking up a little culture and broadening their horizons. However, I’d go out on a limb and say that at least…
Vaujany is considered by most to be the only real choice for anyone looking to hike the French Alps at its finest. And given the fact that the area is blessed with a balmy 300 days of sunshine every year, it’s not difficult to understand how and why it has earned such a massive reputation the world over. Technically speaking it’s possible to beat your own path anywhere in the region and never take the same hiking route twice, but…
Chances are that if you’re reading this right now then your holiday dreams for 2013 are based more around flying down the slopes of Meribel than meandering round a few churches. Can’t say I blame you at all, but I’ve always been the kind of person that isn’t happy travelling a few thousand miles from home and not trying to at least fit one or two extra places into the trip to make the most of it. That’s why I…
