A traditional Savoyard village
The Alpine village of Bozel, which lies in the Savoie department of eastern France, is a traditional old Savoyard village, and not just a purpose built resort. Bozel is a picturesque village with considerable authentic charm, and it is a perfect setting for families to enjoy the many delights of the French Alps, be it winter, summer, or all year round. Surrounded by beautiful, densely forested slopes, interspersed with fragrant Alpine meadows, Bozel has an abundance of natural beauty as well as access to some of the best skiing in Europe in winter.

Summer sunshine, Alpine style!
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Bozel is just for winter… this is far from the case and some of the best delights of the area are saved for the summer months when skiing is but a distant memory. The mountains around the village are perfect for walking, and the views are quite fantastic. From Bozel’s highest point, the summit of Mont Jovet, you can even see Mont Blanc on a clear day. Mountain sports reign supreme here, and you can enjoy rock climbing and lake and river sports such as white water rafting, as well as the simpler pleasures of the ancient French game of Boules.
