The Alps deserve their fame, offering thrilling ski slopes at Val d’Isère and Chamonix , but they are just one of France’s four mountain ranges. To the north, you’ll find the rolling Jura Mountains in Franche-Comté, while Le Mont-Dore , in the Massif Central, provides spectacular hiking near extinct volcanoes. To the southwest, you can climb through the Pyrenees into Spain. If snow-capped peaks aren’t your thing, discover lowland pleasures in the flamingo-filled plains of the Camargue . Advanced hikers can trek the length of Corsica’s interior , but anyone can find great day and overnight hikes on the island, especially on the Cap Corse .
