The
Alps provide a wonderful mixture of spectacular mountain
scenery, thick forests, cascading rivers and 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 rugged, snow-capped peaks. The
town of Annecy itself is a colourful maze 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. |
