Summer Activity Club

There are so many things for kids to do in Val Thorens throughout the summer that sometimes the only way to make the most of it is to enrol them in a summer club! The Bureau des Guides des Bellevilles run a week-long activity course for 6 to 14 year olds that includes climbing, hiking, orientation, wildlife observation and other alpine adventures. The course runs from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, except for one night when they will camp out in a mountain refuge!
