Okay, hear us out… the French Alps aren’t just for skiing. Shocking, we know! But when the snow melts and the mountains turn green, something magical happens. Think wildflowers instead of whiteouts, sunny hikes instead of ski lifts (okay, ski lifts are still there – just used a bit differently 😉), and fresh mountain air with actual warmth in it!
And guess what?
We’re still running transfers through all your favourite ski resorts – yes, even in summer! So if you’ve ever wondered what Morzine, Tignes, or Courchevel look like without a thick layer of snow… now’s your chance to find out what summer in the French Alps is really about!
So, What’s On in Summer in The French Alps?
We’re talking music, food, sport, and vibes. Whether you want to dance under the stars or eat your weight in cheese (no judgement), there’s something for everyone.
🎶 Music Festivals
-
Musilac Mont-Blanc (Chamonix, July) – Pop, rock, indie and electro in the shadow of Mont Blanc. Epic.
-
Alps Music Festival (Various) – Classical music with mountain views? Fancy!
🍷 Food & Wine Events
-
Fête du Reblochon (La Clusaz, August) – A celebration of cheese that we take very seriously.
-
Annecy’s Lakeside Night Markets – Wander through stalls, sip on local wine, and pretend you’re in a rom-com.
🚴 Sporting Events
-
Tour de France (July) – Catch a stage in the Alps and cheer on the lycra-clad warriors.
-
Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (August) – For the extreme runners among us… or those who just like cheering with a beer in hand.
🎪 Local Markets & Alpine Fun
Think handmade crafts, honey, jam, tartiflette, and so many happy dogs in bandanas. You’ll find these little gems in pretty much every resort from June to September.
Mountain Fun for Everyone
It’s not all just events either – the Alps in summer are an adventure playground.
🪂 Paragliding
Jump off a mountain (safely!) and float down like a majestic eagle. Seriously, the views are unreal.
🚵♀️ Mountain Biking
Most resorts like Les Gets, Alpe d’Huez, and Morzine turn into mountain bike meccas. There’s something for pros and the “I’ve got a helmet and vibes” crowd.
🥾 Hiking
Waterfalls, wild goats, and views that’ll make you rethink your life choices. In a good way.
🧘♀️ Wellness & Chill Vibes
Plenty of resorts offer yoga retreats, lakeside paddleboarding, and spas with panoramic views. You’ll be so zen it hurts.
🌊 Lake Days
Annecy, we’re looking at you. Paddleboard on turquoise waters, sunbathe on the “beach”, grab gelato, and explore cobbled streets. It’s a whole vibe.
