In winter, skiing is among the activities on offer; in warmer weather, walking and fishing let you explore the surroundings at a gentler pace.

In summer, set off early to enjoy the cool morning air on the trails, then leave the afternoon for a stroll around the village or some time in the garden. Changes in altitude and Alpine weather make it worth adapting your outings to the season and conditions on the day. In winter, check locally on access conditions and mountain activities before setting off. Spring and autumn are quieter, with scenery that changes through the seasons.
