Picture yourself relaxing over a well-earned picnic lunch, after an active morning in the open air, with an incredible view: perhaps of Mont Blanc, or Lake Annecy... well that's what a camping holiday in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes offers!
This region is second to none for hiking and mountain-climbing, with breathtaking itineraries of all types available. It is particularly popular with those looking for mountain campsites and snow sports campsites. They love the summer hikes and winter slides in places like Val-d'Isère and Chamonix. But the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes offers lots of other activities too, and it a great destination year-round.
For budding scientists, Auvergne and its volcanoes (over 80 !) will be really interesting. Those who like city sightseeing will not be disappointed either. Lyon and its famous festival of lights make for a great urban break. Or you could take a trip to Clermont-Ferrand to visit the great cathedral built in volcanic stone and tour the famous Michelin museum, learning about the incredible history of this inventor known throughout the world.
