During the winter you'll enjoy the dry crisp mountain air and a blue sky with lots of sunshine - just right for a nice winter break. There is downhill skiing and crosscountry/Nordic skiing, ice skating and for the children there are always sleds. For those who like to bathe in hot springs, there are quite a few in the region. From March onward, the weather turns warmer and there are many days where you can move around in short sleeves.

From April you can swim in the Mediterranean Sea as well as in some of the lakes in the vicinity. Swimming, surfing and sunbathing are in order from May through September/early October. It is also possible to organize a visit to the Tour de France and, of course, there are facilities and opportunities for mountain trekking, mountain biking and white water rafting.
