• Aravis ski area : With this youth hostel at the foot of the resort, all you have to do is put on your skis and hit the slopes. The domain culminates at 2 600 meters of altitude and has more than 1 500 meters of descent, nestled between 5 massifs. With its 125 km of skiable terrain, you can choose from 85 trails, adapted to every level. 

• The Confins lake : This lake can be visited in summer as well as in winter, but it must be earned! Perched at an altitude of 1450 meters, it will give you the opportunity to go snowshoeing in winter, or to go mountain biking or hiking in summer. Once you arrive, the lake will offer you a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. In the Aravis nature reserve, you can meet ibex, roe deer, marmots and foxes. 

• Chamonix Mont-Blanc : Take the bus to Chamonix for a day. Close to the Swiss and Italian borders, the small high mountain town attracts tourists from all over Europe. Close to the city, go to the Aiguille du Midi, where an elevator will take you directly to the terrace and offer you an extraordinary view of the Alps. After such a dizzying activity, go to the Grotte de Glace. A magical gallery dug in the heart of the sea of ice, where the play of light will seduce you without a doubt.
