Hotels in French Alps, France
The French Alps stretch across southeastern France, famous for snowcapped peaks like Mont Blanc, Europe's highest mountain at 15,774 feet (4,809 meters). Winters bring heavy snowfall and temperatures often below freezing (low 20s F / -6 C), perfect for skiing in resorts like Chamonix, while summers are mild with highs around 75 F (24 C), ideal for hiking trails like the Tour du Mont Blanc. For a change of pace, visit Annecy with its lake for paddleboarding, or explore the Alpine villages' traditional Savoyard cuisine like fondue.
