Get fit and healthy in the Alps in a summer Esprit Family Adventure. Better known for its family-friendly ski holidays, Esprit offers some of its Alpine accommodation in summer and lays on children's clubs and a wide range of family activities in France, Switzerland and Austria.

There's a nursery in each resort for children from four months to three years, while Alpies Clubs keep children from three to six active and entertained four days a week, giving parents some time to themselves, alternating with family days spent together. Activities outside the clubs include hiking, biking, gentle (or extreme) rafting, pony rides, boat trips on Switzerland's lakes and picnics in flower-strewn meadows.

Accommodation is in a choice of chalets and chalet hotels, all including daily full breakfast, four or five-course adult evening meals with wine and coffee six nights per week, and separate early children's meals. Prices start from £359 per adult for one week's accommodation departing 27 June 2009 with children from two to five years staying free, excluding travel. Visit www.esprit-holidays.co.uk.
