3. Alps

The French Alps are popular in winter for their great ski resorts. The network of interconnected lifts stretches so far you can ski there for weeks without ever retracing your tracks. But the French Alps are also popular in summer. When the ice and snow melts, beautiful craggy hills and lush meadows are unveiled creating an ideal destination for walking, biking and climbing, or just taking in the pure mountain air.
