Surf the best waves in the Alps! Tucked away in the heart of the Swiss Alps, Alaïa Bay is the first wave pool of its kind in continental Europe and probably the most spectacular spot for a surf session, under the snow capped mountains.

Why not spend the Summer working from home and have the children relish some much needed time outdoors challenging themselves and living the childhood dream of simple summer activities in the mountains.
Food
Switzerland is universally famed for cheese, wine and chocolate. A fondue, raclette or croute is a regular on any Valaisan menu. The Swiss are strong supporters of local producers and farmers, they like to serve food that is seasonal and the provenance of food and the quality is important to them.

Alternatively, take a trip to see the St Bernard Dogs at Martigny, play foot golf at Nax, or visit the impressive farmers market on a Friday morning in Sion.
