Head sky-high with the best hiking in the Alps

Gravitating around the breathtaking summit of Mont Blanc, the French Alps burst with outdoor energy through the summer. France’s mountain trails provide hiking excursions for all skill levels with snow-capped alpine backdrops from cosy chalet stays. Awaken to sublime views of the towering Hauts-Fort at Chalet-Hotel La Marmotte, a traditional spa complex packed with restaurants and pools. The charming Chalet-Hotel Neige et Roc is another beautiful option in the Hauts-Fort area, complete with Turkish baths, tennis and various spa treatments.

Overlooking Mont Blanc, Chalet-Hotel La Chemenaz is a sprawling, family-friendly hotel with an excellent swimming pool offering verdant valley views. The hotel's restaurant serves up traditional Savoyard dishes like creamy fondue. Enjoy hiking and walking in the Alps from the hotel’s grounds or ascend the sublime Aiguille du Midi from Chamonix by cablecar. Sitting in the mountain’s foothills is Chalet-Hôtel La Ferme du Chozal, with pretty floral exteriors and relaxing spa facilities. The restaurant basks in the alpine views and offers organic local produce cooked to perfection.

Alpine lakeside beauty

European mountain scenery is made more special by still lake landscapes. In Italy’s magnificent Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, Lake Sauris is an epicentre for kayaking and windsurfing flanked by the Dolomite Mountains. The charming Chalet-Hotel Borgo Eibn Mountain Lodge is where to stay in the Dolomites for hiking as it rests high in the valley overlooking the lake. Experience restful mountain views with trails leading directly out into the hills. Guests are treated to elegant dining experiences with locally-reared and sourced produce and can enjoy relaxing pool or whirlpool dips after a day trekking the Dolomites.

In France’s Pyrenees foothills, Lourdes is one of the country's most picturesque towns. An imposing castle sits at its centre with links to Charlemagne. The town's glacial lake provides waterborne fun and relaxing walks through forest trails. Hotel Astoria Vatican is an idyllic base to explore the surrounding Pyrenees Mountains, offering fine dining facilities and a picturesque patio to unwind in.

Whether you’re hiking in the Alps or simply looking to relax surrounded by the stunning mountaintop scenery, book your stay with The Originals Hotel for a pampered stay. To explore vast and verdant valleys, head to the mountains this summer to experience nature at its best.
