visit the mountains in summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The best times to enjoy summer skiing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From <strong>June to September<\/strong>, Alpine landscapes become lush green pastures, filled with wild flowers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>August<\/strong> is very lively, with a wide range of activities and events at the resorts. Early <strong>September<\/strong> is more peaceful, with pleasant temperatures and spectacular views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather, altitude and practical advice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the mountains, mornings are often the best time to enjoy outdoor activities, before possible thunderstorms arrive later in the day. Be sure to check conditions before you head out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring several layers of clothing and carry <strong>water, sun protection and sunglasses<\/strong>. The sun is very strong in the mountains, even when temperatures feel mild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summer skiing and sustainability in the mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The evolution of glaciers and summer skiing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Glacier skiing has been enjoyed for decades, but it is now increasingly affected by <strong>climate change<\/strong>. In the Alps, glaciers have lost 50% of their volume since 1850, with melting accelerating since the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, some resorts have reduced or stopped summer skiing, while others are adapting their activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travelling responsibly in the mountains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these few steps to ensure you travel responsibly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consider trains or carpooling <\/strong>to get to the resorts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay on marked trails <\/strong>to protect Alpine flora;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose accommodation committed to <strong>environmental practices;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support local producers <\/strong>by enjoying regional produce;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limit waste <\/strong>and avoid single-use plastic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Mountain landscape covered in snow.\" class=\"wp-image-85036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-350x234.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-1140x761.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230621-panorama-col-thorens-bascules-3-vallees-hiver-cc-david-andre-exp20251031-006-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u00a9 David Andr\u00e9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-stay-in-a-mountain-chalet-in-summer-if-you-love-skiing\">Why stay in a mountain chalet in summer if you love skiing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mountain tourism currently accounts for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccomptes.fr\/sites\/default\/files\/2024-02\/20240206-Stations-de-montagne-face-au-changement-climatique.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>22.4% of overnight stays<\/strong><\/a> in France.
