I am not a "person of the mountain." I usually prefer the beaches, but when I saw Annecy for the first time a friend who does not take no for an answer) was (thanks to the area swept away by the breathtaking beauty. The French department of Haute-Savoie, in the Alps and bordered by Switzerland to the north and Italy to the east, is a landscape of rugged mountains, green valleys and crystalline lakes. It 's a wonderful place for a holiday or winter holiday, even if youI do not ski. There is so much to do here, and just walking around, taking in views and explore the towns, villages and hamlets, it could be busy for months. I recommend you rent a cottage apartment or villa immersed in the local way of life. There are tons of, in every price range and every setting you can choose to do.
Annecy, the northern shores of Lac d'Annecy, is simply breathtaking. The picturesque medieval town with its castle,Canals and winding, cobbled streets is an ideal place for a winter holiday. View of the lake, the cleanest in Europe, the spectacular view of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Alps, great skiing and is within walking distance. In the city there are many nice shops, bars and restaurants welcoming, traditional and modern dishes in the region. At least a raclette dinner (raclette cheese, potatoes, cucumbers, onions, cucumbers, etc. accompanied zone) is a mustbut also try the baked format "farce element" is an ancient dish of grated potatoes, bacon and prunes in a high form like a chimney. And be sure to sample local cheeses: the sticky, smelly, Reblochon absolutely delicious, earthy hazelnut and Tomme de Savoie, Abondance fruity and slightly sweet, nutty Beaufort and almost caramel-like, soft, creamy goat milk Chevrotin, the Raw milk Emmental de Savoie sweet and fruity and slightly grassy TomeBauges.

Winter activities including skiing and cross country skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, hiking, or something a bit 'quirky, heli-skiing, where a helicopter is present on the Italian side of Mont Blanc. There are many activities for non-skiers are also responsible for: Businessone of the many world-renowned resorts, gambling at the casino, stroll along the lake, fill a bottle with water in spring Cachat, take a free ride up the mountain by cable car or take a boat ride of 35 minutes on the lake, Lausanne.
La Clusaz is a traditional mountain village in the mountains, where the Aravis ski (downhill and cross country) and snowboarding are the main attractions. Other popular activities include ice skating, snow shoeing, hiking, watching the sceneryAqua Centre large heated outdoor pool. In winter, Monday is a particularly good time to visit - during the day there is a farmers market in the center, and organize local merchants in the torchlight evening and Vin chaud at all. Children welcome to browse not as frantic as some of the other ski resorts in the Alps, and the light, La Clusaz is a favorite among families and those who prefer to dwell on a candlelight dinner and dancing all night, instead(However, there are numerous bars and weekends tend to be much busier and stronger with the influx of French tourists and Swiss).
Megeve, the picture perfect, rustic chic in winter playground for the well to take a public since 1920, as popular today than ever. You can enjoy skiing, paragliding, dog sledding, sleigh rides, rent a hot air balloon or a small plane or helicopter will take you to the Mont Blanc for some great views and photo opportunities. Megeve has a lothigh-end boutiques, cafes, bistros and restaurants, and one of the best spas in the world, "Pure Altitude" of "Le Fermes de Marie". The search for a swinging nightlife has a lot to choose from: there is an active après ski scene and some jazz clubs, discos and bars.
Whether you choose a cozy apartment in a city or a beautiful villa on a hill in rent, I suggest you try to find a fireplace - it can be very cold and raw inMountains, and what is more beautiful than the first heat of a fire that burns with a hot chocolate or a glass of wine before exploring?
