chalet in the french alps - walking and hiking, white water rafting

Summer Activities

In the Summer Bernex offers plenty of activities – tennis, petanque, horse riding, mountain biking, parapente, fishing and rafting, together with recreational and cultural activities.

The garden surrounds the house, so plenty of room to kick a football, play chase or just relax. We also have table tennis in the basement which can provide hours of family entertainment, not to mention competition!

Golf, sailing, swimming, climbing, paragliding, white-water rafting and canyoning at Lake de la Beunaz, and the famous Dent d’Oche at 2222 metres high for those keen for a challenge, and for those less adventurous there are many ramblers paths which accommodate all levels.

More than enough to keep the most active of people busy on their relaxing holidays – you’ll need two weeks!

If the local activities are not enough, Lake Geneva and Evian are 15 minutes away, have many attractions such as water sports, spa & thermal baths, beaches and bars to give you that waterside feel – not to mention Evian Mineral Water! There is also a local distillery in Bernex which you can visit and sample local products. Alternatively, just sit back, relax and enjoy the views and atmosphere of this naturally beautiful area.

Montreux, famous for its Jazz Festival, in Switzerland is just over an hour’s drive away and offers shopping, views, restaurants and lovely lakeside promenades etc.
