Welcome to Alpine Break
Situated in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes (or High Alps) region of France we are ideally situated for a large number of outdoor activities. We are surrounded by fifteen different ski resorts ranging from ten to forty five kilometres away which offer a great range and variety of skiing. In the summer the same resorts have lifts open making them ideal for mountain biking and walking. The majority of them have dedicated biking trails of all standards, as well as bike parks and ‘North Shore’ style areas.
The area is also well known for its excellent white water, and is generally regarded as one of the best spots in Europe for kayaking. There are also a large number of rafting outfits around for people who are not so experienced in kayaks. Canyoning is another sport that is popular around here with some fantastic canyons to try.
Sandwiched between the Ecrins and Queyras mountains there is no shortage of rock for climbers. There are over seventy different sport climbing crags within the same forty five kilometre drive from here offering thousands of routes of all grades on good bolt protected rock. Then in the Ecrins and the Queyras there are real quality alpine routes that don’t suffer from the queuing issues that you get in the Chamonix area.
Just ten minutes down the road is the largest reservoir in Europe which is busy with boating, water skiing, windsurfing and kite skiing.
We believe that there is something to tempt anyone who loves the outdoors in this area and we look forward to your visit.
