In summer, temperatures can rise rapidly, sometimes to the point of heatwave. Travelling by motorhome in the mountains allows you to enjoy cleaner air, cooler nights and spectacular panoramas. Between hiking, lakes, picturesque villages and outdoor activities, altitude is the best ally for a successful summer holiday.
In the Alps, Massif Central, Savoie, Cantal, Puy-de-Dôme or Hautes-Alpes, each destination offers a temperate climate, ideal for relaxation and discovery.
CAMPING-CAR PARK areas offer spacious, secure, year-round pitches, with full services (water, electricity, drainage, wifi depending on the site). Their location provides easy access to sites of interest and mountain activities. Visit Digital Pass gives you access to exclusive discounts at local retailers, and the Pack'Privilège allows you to extend your stay at a reduced rate.
In Savoie, between Lac du Bourget and the Alpine peaks, the CAMPING-CAR PARK area in Aix-les-Bains offers an ideal setting. You can enjoy the shores of France's largest natural lake, cycle along the ViaRhôna or climb Mont Revard to admire the Alps. The crisp morning air and shady trees keep you cool, even in midsummer.
