French Alps Travel Guide

Who said outdoor adventure couldn’t be stylish? Or sophisticated, stunningly beautiful and ever-so classy? The French Alps are what alpine ecstasy is all about. Rustic ambiance meets first-class living in the French Alps. World-class resorts dot the legendary powdered peaks, while chic resorts towns Chamonix and St. Gervais warm you up after you’ve hit the slopes. It all comes to a head in Annecy, a historic, geranium-covered town criss-crossed by canals and back-dropped by snow-capped peaks—the perfect place for some post-skiing relaxation. Grenoble serves as the region’s buzzing capital of forward thinking and innovation, where shops, cafes and galleries burst with energy. But the main draw of the French Alps will always be its dramatic geography. Skiing and mountaineering reign supreme, while boaters and rafters find heaven on earth in glimmering lakes such as Lake Geneva. Whatever the season, the French Alps help you get back to nature without getting too unkempt. What can we say—the French Alps are simply blessed.

Photo Friday: Grenoble gets ready for Christmas Photo Friday: Grenoble gets ready for Christmas

Photo by Christina Rebuffet-Broadus Around 40 cm of snow dumped on Grenoble this past week, giving two things to the city: one heck of a traffic jam and a very Christmas-y atmosphere. Seeing these two snow-flocked trees along the road made the hour-long creep to the office a little more bearable! With so much snow and a sunny weekend announced, you can expect to see pretty much all of Grenoble at the ski resorts. Chamrousse and Autrans are around a... Read More
