With its outstanding natural setting, the mountains in summer are the ideal destination to disconnect from the bustle of daily life. Breathtaking landscapes await at every summit or at the turn of every grove, and a wide variety of activities are on offer to make the most of this privileged setting… In short, the mountains in summer are full of strengths and tick every box for restorative holidays!
So why hesitate any longer to head higher for a summer escape?
Mountains in summer — to enjoy the great outdoors…
It’s the holidays… We leave behind that relentless pace, breathe out once and for all — and even breathe in deep! And rightly so: here we are in the mountains, far from large cities and overly intense human activity. The mountain massifs around us enjoy a pure, invigorating air, conducive to getting back into shape.
What’s more, in these increasingly hot — sometimes stifling — summer months we now know, we will gladly take a small dose of invigorating coolness, which gives us a welcome boost of energy in the day and a higher quality of sleep.
Indeed, the temperature drops by about one degree for every 150 m of altitude gained — which isn’t trivial when our holiday base camp has climbed to some 1,500 m.
Discover the beauty of the mountains in summer: flora and fauna in every state…
From the valley to the summit, you cannot remain unmoved by the beauty of the landscapes. Nature is alive and generous, and the variety of scenes she offers — between lakes, forests, streams and vast floral expanses — captivates us. Her many inhabitants are perfectly suited to their environment, expert balancers or super hibernators, and sometimes even play at meeting hikers along the way.
Marmots, ibex, chamois and bearded vultures remain wild animals — and these shy creatures only let themselves be observed by the most respectful visitors… You could almost wonder, sometimes, who is the subject and who is the observer…
The ideal place to disconnect during summer.
From the ridges or the summit of the area, the panoramas offer a perspective stretching out as far as the eye can see… making us feel suddenly very small. This contemplation is like an invitation to introspection.
Going higher — isn’t that a good way to step back? For the more active, the approaches are many ways to expend energy and discover this XXL playground from every angle: on foot, by bike, on water, roped to a mountain face or even up in the air — anything is possible, and the only limit when practising these activities is your daring in the face of the elements!
