To the Heart of the Alps
December is the ideal time to get away to a charming place, perfect for enjoying the magic of winter. With the arrival of cold weather and snow, there is something special about this time of year that invites you to disconnect from your daily routine. Whether it’s a cozy chalet in the mountains, a picturesque village adorned with Christmas lights, or a vibrant city with Christmas markets, this month offers numerous opportunities to create unforgettable memories.
At Alpy Transfers, we propose three destinations to explore with your partner or friends.
1. Chamonix
The December bridge is the perfect moment for a getaway to Chamonix, where the majesty of the Alps blends with the excitement of winter activities. This charming village, located at the foot of Mont Blanc, transforms into a true fairy tale during the holiday season, with its decorated streets inviting you to stroll and discover the local charm. The ski slopes of Brévent and Les Granges are just the beginning of the fun, offering options for both beginners and experienced skiers. If you’re looking for something different, try the snowshoeing trails! You can also venture to the iconic Mer de Glace glacier, where nature reveals itself in its most spectacular form.
2. Morzine
Morzine is the perfect retreat for those who want to immerse themselves in a warm and festive atmosphere in December. This charming alpine village, part of the impressive Portes du Soleil area, offers a unique experience that combines snow sports with the authentic flavors of the Alps. The Christmas atmosphere envelops everything: the bright lights, artisan markets, and delicious local cuisine that encourages you to try a good fondue. If skiing isn’t your thing, there are many other ways to enjoy yourself, such as ice skating on the local rink or experiencing the magical feeling of a dog sled ride—an activity you’ll never forget.
