10 reasons to go to the mountains in the summer

When the snow for skiing has already melted, there is still something to do in the mountains.

Every time summer comes around – the question comes up, “Where to go on vacation this time?”

Choosing a summer vacation destination and planning a trip is a big ordeal. You know, time is money. We want to help because we know a summer vacation option that you probably haven’t tried yet.

We tell you why you should go to mountain resorts at this time and what to do there.

The beauty of the summer mountains

You arrive at the airport, take a cab or other transfer and drive along the road towards the mountain valley. You will be surrounded by scenic views, mountain rivers and waterfalls. Important: in the summer mountains there is no exhausting heat, which you can find on the beach or in coastal cities.

Calm, only calm

If you are looking for a quieter vacation spot, the mountains are your option. In summer, there are far fewer people here than by the sea. You won’t have to fight with anyone for a place in the sun or stand in huge queues at lunchtime.

Opportunity to save money

Mountain vacation in the summer is inexpensive. It may sound unusual, but it’s true. A hotel room will cost less than in the winter “hot” season. Cafes and restaurants organize seasonal offers for visitors. There is everything for every taste and purse.

What to do if you don’t go skiing?

Depending on which mountains you go to and where they are located (you can choose for yourself not only the mountains of the North Caucasus), you will have the opportunity to get into the local flavor and try something new for yourself.

• Wake up in the morning, take an elevator to the peak and walk all day.
• Rent a bike or Nordic walking poles and walk the serpentine hills.
• Rent a car and go exploring neighboring communities, looking for viewpoints and scenery.
• Go on a hike of any difficulty and any distance. There are so many options, and you probably won’t explore them all.
• There are designated campsites along the trails. Try taking a tent with you on your hike, walk to a scenic spot and spend the night there. We assure you, you will definitely have a new experience.
• Many mountain resorts have amusement parks, swimming pools and workshops in the summer.
• Farms and stables are very developed in the mountains. The locals have learned to take advantage of this and organize excursions on horseback or with dogs to places that are difficult to reach on foot, or to places that only locals know.
