The French massifs


Thanks to its diversity of cultures, traditional cuisine and impressive scenery, the French mountain has a great natural and cultural richness. Its ski lifts and numerous tracks and stations make France the largest skiable domain in the worldThe AlpsThe Alps are divided into two distinct areas: the mountain of the Northern Alps that symbolizes the high mountain with the emblematic summit of Mont Blanc, and offer a wide range of activities: family outings around the great lakes, alpine or Nordic skiing ... And the Southern Alps that benefit from 300 sunny days a year and offer the opportunity to practice many activities within the great National Parks. This region constitutes a transition between the north and the south. Little by little, the trees give way to the routes of trees with the smell of lavender and thyme, as we approach Provence and its olive groves.The PyreneesSeparating France from Spain, this mountain range forms an imposing barrier that extends continuously between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic over about 430 km. The chain of the Pyrenees is composed of solid areas of color with mythical places such as the Cirque de Gavarnie, the Pic du Midi and many thermal baths.The JuraAs a natural point along the Swiss-French border, the Jura offer visitors a sweet digression preserved from mass tourism. The Jura is a paradise for lovers of skiing and hiking, where family resorts will welcome you: Métabief, Monts Jura, Les Rousses ...The Vosges60% covered by forests, the mountains of the Vosges are spread over 7 departments. They are a true outdoor show where a lot of activities are offered to satisfy all the needs: sport, leisure, discovery, well-being ...The Central MassifThe Massif Central is first and foremost a space dedicated to nature. The chain of volcanoes, Mount Dore and Super Besse, and dozens of lakes reflect the savagery of the area. 11 natural parks (the largest concentration in Europe), make up a mosaic of emblematic territories: Aubrac, Cevennes ...CorsicaIt seduces by its impressive landscapes, with unreal colors, it smells like scrub, a permanent sun and preserved traditions. Corsica is a land of contrasts between the sea and the mountains, where the activity of hiking is the queen.
