Camping La Corbaz

This site’s surrounds are utterly spectacular, and as befits an alpine spot such as this, heaps of outdoorsy options are on the cards with a stay at Camping La Corbaz. Naturally, hiking and mountain biking trails galore lead from the site and out into the surrounding countryside, while canoeing on the Arve river, horse riding, canyoning and rafting are all an easy eight kilometres or less away. If swooping around treetops and clambering up rope rigs is more your sort of outdoor escapade, then the treetop adventure park seven kilometres from base is a splendidly suitable option – just remember not to look down... Winter sporters are well catered to in these parts too, with three tiptop ski resorts within 20 kilometres, namely Morzine, Avoriaz and La Clusaz; for an utterly spectacular hike, make for the Cirque de Sixt Fer a Cheval: the largest mountain cirque in the Alps, it’s beautly bordered by towering limestone cliffs to form a ginormous natural amphitheatre measuring more almost five kilometres across. If you fancy trawling chocolate shops, swish bars and fancy restaurants, then head to historic Geneva and its lovely Léman lake, an easy 45 minute drive from base.
