The French Alps are home to snowy mountain peaks, crystal-clear lakes and lush green valleys and are most known for their outdoor activities like skiing, paragliding, mountaineering and rafting. It is here that you will find chalets dotting the mountainside village and scenery that will take your breath away. You’ll almost feel like journeying to the top of a peak to yodle or singing your favorite Sound of Music tune as you enjoy the natural beauty in this region of France. Perhaps most well-known in the French Alps are the famous resort towns that attract visitors from around the world each year.
