The
Alps provide a wonderful mixture of spectacular mountain
scenery, thick forests, cascading rivers and crystal clear
blue lakes. This is a paradise for walkers, cyclists and
lovers of all water sports. There are many other exciting
pursuits available such as white water rafting, canyoning,
summer luge and paragliding. At Annecy in the Haute Savoie,
the scenery is truly dramatic with colourful alpine meadows
stretching up towards the craggy, snow-capped peaks. The
town of Annecy itself is a colourful maize of flowers,
canals and medieval buildings. The Jura has a wonderfully
rural atmosphere with a tapestry of lakes, rivers,
waterfalls, rich farmlands and forested hills interspersed
with unspoilt towns and villages like Clairvaux-les-Lacs. |
