This region has always attracted travellers from around the world because it is home to the mythical Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps (4810 metres high), known as the 'rooftop of Europe'.
From Chamonix, Mont Blanc offers wonderful sights and unforgettable excursions to visitors searching for excitement and grandeur, and those who head for the summit of the Aiguille du Midi have the chance to admire the stunning panorama over Mont Blanc and the whole of the Alps.
With a holiday in Rhône-Alpes, you can also enjoy tearing down the slopes of one of the largest ski areas in the world; discover the resort villages which have been able to keep their typical mountain architecture, made from wood & stone; and at the same time satisfy your desire for prestige and tradition at Megève or Courchevel.
For those searching for charm and harmony, fulfilment and balance, the Rhône-Alpes region invites you to take the time to sample the fresh air alongside the grand Alpine lakes in the prestigious Evian spa at Thonon, or by Aix les Bains, the largest natural lake in France.
