Summer time and the Alps are calling

Yes, the Sunday Times has reminded everyone again, that you don't have to be an adrenalin junkie to enjoy the Alps in summer.

I've always maintained that adults enjoy holidays with their children more in the Alps than at the beach, because one way or another, children will tire themselves out in the mountain air, leaving the adults some peace & quiet in the evening!

Now they're reminding us that there's more to do in the Alps in summer than walk, cycle, swim, rafting, climbing, tennis...you get the picture.

They've listed (some of) the other activities (painting courses in Chamonix, kite-flying in Megeve) that go on all over the Alps from June to September. Verbier has its classical music festival that is, apparently, difficult to match. Les Contamines has its choir festival in August, the last week of August this year.

Can't wait!
