Classic mountaineering in a beautiful National Park in the Dauphine Alps staying at the Ailefroide campsite - http://www.ailefroide.fr/camping/
Several famous peaks such as La Meije, Le Pelvoux - and one of the easier 4000m peaks. The Barre des Ecrins forms the highest peak of the region. Rock climbing options too. Arrive earlier to escape the olympics, or arrive later and stay on later - it is all up to you.
