Summer in a mid-mountain resort is still something of a secret: a few degrees cooler than the valley, trails starting at the doorstep, and accommodation noticeably cheaper than in February.
The pool, family headquarters
Pool and slides fill the hot afternoons without touching the car — often the trade that gets the morning hike accepted.
Hikes that suit small legs
Les 7 Laux has short routes up to the lakes and pastures with reasonable climbs. Start early, carry water, and be generous with your estimate for the way back.
The rest of the time the resort suits doing nothing spectacular at all: reading on the balcony, eating outside, watching the light fall on the ridges.
