Summer in the Alps 2022 - Where could we go, for a change? 20 reasons to consider a Summer Holiday in the Alps this year.

Summer in the Alps 2022

Millions of Europeans from the northern regions travel south for the summer holidays. In Italy alone, over 7 million holidaymakers head for the coastal resorts in June. Attracting some 18 million visitors from the UK annually, Spain has some of the most crowded beaches in the world. Around 60% of French holidaymakers head for the coast. Before we go too far with this, let’s just say we (at APi) have always enjoyed a summer holiday by the sea and always will. Equally, some lovely unspoilt less crowded spots can be found, especially out of season.

But what if you’re thinking “where could we go for a change?”.
