Hotels in Rhone-Alpes, France

Rhône-Alpes sits in east-central France, hugging the Alps, with a climate that gives you crisp, snowy winters (averaging 28°F/-2°C in January) and warm, sunny summers (around 77°F/25°C in July). Winter draws skiers to the renowned slopes of Chamonix and Les Trois Vallées, while summer lets you hike through the Vanoise National Park or windsurf on the deep blue waters of Lake Annecy. Don't miss Lyon's food scene-its 19th-century bouchons serve traditional Lyonnaise cuisine-or the Roman amphitheater in Vienne, which still hosts live jazz concerts in July.
