While the heat intensifies in cities and coastal areas, the mountains offer a respite of mild temperatures and fresh air. Summer is the ideal season for hiking, mountain biking routes, or refreshing swims in mountain pools and rivers.
Long days, peaceful plans
Long sunsets allow you to make the most of the day: a picnic lunch, an afternoon of fishing, or simply reading on the porch while watching the light change over the peaks. The nights, cool even in the middle of August, are perfect for outdoor dining.
Festivals and local culture
If you’re looking for activity, many mountain villages host fairs and local festivals in summer, a great way to discover the culture and gastronomy of the area.
