Cooking over an open fire? Setting off into the wilderness in whichever direction you choose?<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like the perfect holiday to us\u2026 well, apart from skiing of course!<\/p>\n<p>One of the big appeals to camping is disconnecting from our normally hectic lives and reconnecting with nature.<\/p>\n<p>While there\u2019s a myriad of amazing camping destinations, nothing quite matches <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/en\/ski-transfer-destinations\/fr\">the French Alps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re debating whether to go <strong>camping in the French Alps<\/strong> this summer, we\u2019re going to do our best to convince you.<\/p>\n<p>So, first question\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>Why Go Camping in the French Alps?<\/h2>\n<p>Alps holidays are well renowned for their incredible beauty and the abundance of summer activities taking place. A camping trip takes the entire experience to a whole new level.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>The Peace and Quiet is Unmatched<\/h3>\n<p>Camping in an environment filled with fresh air, peace and serenity is unlike any other experience. The French Alps offer all three.<\/p>\n<p>The mountains are quiet and relatively untouched, meaning a low risk of any thoughtful moments or picturesque views being interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>This makes the Alps a perfect destination for camping. From the moment you wake up and step outside your tent, you\u2019re surrounded by the calm and gentle nature of your environment.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking for an escape from your usually busy lifestyle, or looking for a mellower environment for your next summer holiday, camping in the French Alps has you covered.<\/p>\n<p>However, even after establishing the calm and serenity of the Alps, you may be wondering\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Is There Much to Do?<\/h3>\n<p>In short: yes.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing as you\u2019re up in the mountains, there\u2019s a lot of ground to make use of. The Alps are perfect for <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/top-5-activities-amazing-summer-holidays-alps\/\">a range of activities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Leave your tent and go for a hike through the Mont Blanc region, or take the \u2018High Route\u2019 through Chamonix and into Switzerland to visit Zermatt, exploring new sights and terrains along your way.<\/p>\n<p>There are designated treks on offer for hikers to get the most from their trip, taking in the best sights and avoiding any built up areas.<\/p>\n<p>For something a bit more high energy, rent a mountain bike and test your endurance around the Alpine trails.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, find a river or lake and dive in to a variety of water-based activities.<\/p>\n<p>Some of our picks would be:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 White water rafting<br \/>\n\u2022 Sailing<br \/>\n\u2022 Scuba diving<br \/>\n\u2022 Sailing<br \/>\n\u2022 Water skiing<br \/>\n\u2022 Boat rides<br \/>\n\u2022 Kayaking<br \/>\n\u2022 Fishing<\/p>\n<p>In the summer heat, we recommend white water rafting in the southern part of the French Alps (the Durance and Ubaye rivers in particular, for their longevity and excitement) or a relaxing boat ride at Lake Annecy.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a wonderfully unique balance between peace and activity, which is what makes holidays to the French Alps so endearing.<\/p>\n<h3>The Mountain Towns<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019re not confined strictly to your campsite. If anything, the point of camping is to reconnect to your sense of freedom.<\/p>\n<p>So embrace the freedom and find your way towards some of the best Alpine towns.<\/p>\n<p>Some destinations are exceptionally beautiful and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/picture-perfect-french-alps-summer-holiday-destinations\/\">picture-perfect during summer<\/a>, making them excellent summer holiday destinations.
