Alpsholiday.com has stunning self-catering apartments in a beautiful, old farmhouse, Snowgums, on the edge of Briancon / Serre Chevalier, in the southern French Alps. This part of the Alps is a well-kept secret! It is stunning, magical, with all amenities and yet not over-developed. On average a holiday here costs 20% less than in the more well-known and busier Savoie in the northern French Alps. With fantastic skiing for all levels and great options for summer holidays - hiking, cycling, swimming - in mountain lakes as well as in the excellent swimming pool and thermal spa, climbing, picnics, plus 300 days of sunshine a year, this is an unbeatable location for your holidays at any time of year.

Snowgum is the name of the distinctive and beautiful eucalyptus tree that grows in the Australian high country, or Australian Alps.
Skiing and hiking under snowgums, a unique experience, was the inspiration for the name of our old farmhouse, Snowgums, in the southern French Alps.
