Why alpine homes are a hit in the summer

When you think of mountain destinations, it’s often snow and winter sports that come to mind. Yet, the summer months are often when mountain resorts see an influx of visitors thanks to the variety of activities on offer, as well as the fresh air. 

Think crystal-clear lakes, alpine golf courses, music and wellness festivals and panoramic trails that rival any coastal view. 

This seasonal shift is having a noticeable impact on residential real estate. As buyers prioritise locations with year-round activities, many mountain resorts are investing in their summer appeal as a way to both maintain visitor numbers and as a strategic response to warmer winters and shorter ski seasons. 

In Geilo in Norway, for example, visitors and residents have access to bike parks, white water rafting, canyoning and fishing to name but a few outdoor pursuits, whilst in the Alps, there are an increasing number of festivals from e-biking to yoga to classical music. 

For those looking for a home that offers both adventure and tranquillity, summer in the mountains might just be the place to start.
