Many people will only consider having a winter holiday in the mountains.
However, more and more people are starting to discover what the mountains have to offer after the snow has melted.

What a lot of people don't realise is that mountain ranges often bask in
glorious hot weather during the summer months. The French Alps for example share a summer climate not too dissimilar to
that of the Mediterranean - the major difference being that the altitude means that nights aren't as stuffy and
humid.
On top of the good weather is the huge choice and variety of summertime
activities. On a summer lakes & mountain holiday, you could easily find yourself walking, mountain biking, rock climbing,
swimming in mountain lakes, white water rafting, kayaking, paragliding, or even just relaxing!

Also, rather than just seeing the ski slopes which tends to be the case
on a ski holiday, in summer you find you are surrounded by an endless list of places to visit. Again taking the French
Alps as an example, a week's holiday in a mountain resort in the Haute Savoie could easily include day trips to Annecy
(voted one of Europe's most beautiful cities), Italy, Geneva, Evian and any number of national parks and chateaux.
