After the success of last year we decided to return to where we know. The campsite is ideally set for children with safe,traffic calmed routes for them to cycle around on and a large play park handy as well as football and volleyball pitches. The campsite is right next to lake Geneva with a wardened beach and an excellent swimming pool within easy distance. For climbing there is good local cragging that works for children and adults alike and alpinism options in a lesser explored area overlooking the lake.
The trip last year was enjoyed by all the families, and a more family friendly climate than the high alps definitely helped. The campsite has options for tents, campervans, or you can hire cabins of varying degrees of luxury if that is easier for family life.
Members without children are also more than welcome, it is an informal meet where not everyone in the party has to be a member of the Alpine Club and people can come for all or part of the trip. The link to the campsite is below, book yourselves for the dates you want and we will contact the site later to ensure we are all in the same area.
