If you want to avoid the crowds and the sweltering heat by the seaside, heading to the mountains for your summer holidays can be an excellent alternative. In summer, the beaches are usually overrun with tourists and holidaymakers, and it can be difficult to really enjoy quality time with your family.

What’s more, if you need to recharge your batteries, the mountains are an idyllic place to breathe in some fresh air whilst enjoying unique experiences with your children.

As heatwaves become more intense every year, parents are doing everything they can to protect their children from the heat and sunstroke. To this end, many people choose to spend their summer holidays in the mountains, where temperatures are milder.

The mountain atmosphere will also allow you to recharge your batteries and switch off from the hustle and bustle of city life for a few days. Whether you’re making the most of a lovely sunny day to go for a walk in the countryside with your family and introduce your children to the local flora and fauna, or whether you choose to enrol your little ones in one of the clubs run by esf Méribel so they can meet other children their own age and socialise, you’re sure to make the most of your holiday.

If you’re planning to explore the area around Méribel and climb some peaks to take in the breathtaking views of the resort, the Méribel esf invites you to enrol your children aged 6 to 8 in our ‘Les P’tits Aventuriers’ club so that they can still have fun whilst you’re away.

During their time at our club, they’ll have the chance to make friends with children their own age and take part in a wide range of activities. As our programme runs for 15 days, the esf instructors will introduce them, for example, to tree-top adventure courses or fishing, or take them to discover the mountain wildlife and the Méribel forest. At esf Méribel, we’re also committed to offering craft workshops where your children can develop their skills.

At the ‘Les P’tits Aventuriers’ club, your children will also have the chance to take part in treasure hunts, Olympic-style games, team games or orienteering, go quad biking, have their first pony ride, build a den or a dam, or even try their hand at mini golf. Whatever your holiday plans, esf Méribel offers a wide range of activities to keep your children entertained throughout the summer season!
