Amazing weather<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people associate the Alps with cold, snowy weather. And although this is most definitely the case in winter, the summer brings glorious blue skies and hot, sunny climates. So, if you love the mountains but can\u2019t stand the cold \u2013 July is definitely the time to visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of wonderful lakes to cool off at too, such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/lake-annecy-beaches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lake Annecy<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.combloux.com\/en\/decouvrir\/immanquables\/plan-eau-biotope-combloux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Combloux Biotope Lake<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.valleedaulps.com\/montriond-lake-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Montriond Lake<\/a><\/strong>, <a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.chatel.com\/lake-vonnes.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lake Vonnes<\/a>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/montblancfamilyfun.com\/2017\/06\/29\/lac-de-passy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lac de Passy<\/a><\/strong> and many more.
