FRENCH ALPS
There is probably no pleasure equal to the pleasure of climbing a dangerous Alp;
but it is a pleasure which is confined strictly to people who can find pleasure in it.

Discovery French Alps
The Alps are the largest mountain chain in Europe, extending for almost 1,000km with a surface area of 35,000km² in France.
The Alps also boast some of the highest peaks in Europe. The most symbolic peak of the mountain range is Mont Blanc which stands at an altitude of 4,810m. The three departments in the Northern Alps are the Haute-Savoie, Savoie and Isère.
This region is home to France’s famous historic ski resorts such as Chamonix and Megève, as well as its major skiing areas such as the Trois Vallées (Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, Les Ménuires) and Paradiski (Les Arcs, La Plagne, Peisey-Vallandry).
