The Alps in Summer: A Different Kind of Escape

Forget the crowds, the queues, and the clichés — summer in the Alps is a revelation. Think snow-capped peaks melting into wildflower-strewn meadows, alpine lakes shimmering under clear blue skies, and fresh, pine-scented air that makes you feel instantly lighter.

Whether you’re hiking along high-altitude ridgelines, cycling through picture-book villages, or simply soaking in the view from a spa perched above the clouds — this is slow travel at its finest.

What to Expect
☀️ Temperatures from June to September hover between 15°C and 25°C — ideal for long days outdoors and cool, restful nights.

🗓 Mid-July to August brings alpine festivals, flower-filled pastures, and the most reliable weather window for longer mountain treks.

🌿 Top Experiences in the Alps This Summer

✨ Wake Up in Style

Start your day in a boutique alpine hotel or chalet — from forest lodges to contemporary mountain retreats like eriro in Austria or The Chedi Andermatt in Switzerland. With views across sweeping valleys and coffee on your private balcony, it’s a morning unlike any other.

🥾 Hike the Best Alpine Trails

The Alps offer hiking for every level of adventurer:

Five Lakes Trail, Zermatt – with mirror-like lakes reflecting the Matterhorn
Lechweg Trail, Austria – a gentler route dotted with wild swimming spots and picnic-perfect meadows
Alta Via 1, Dolomites – a more challenging trek for seasoned hikers

🚴 E-Bike Through the Mountains

Explore effortlessly on two wheels. The Sellaronda MTB Tour is a must for thrill-seekers, while quieter gravel paths in the Engadin region offer a slower pace with stunning views. Many hotels offer e-bike rentals and trail maps for your stay.

🧘‍♀️ Restore with Alpine Wellness

Wellness in the Alps is woven into the landscape. Enjoy outdoor yoga with mountain views, hammams carved into rock, or soak in rooftop hot tubs under the stars. Try glacier-fed cold plunges and herbal saunas at properties like Badrutt’s Palace or Schloss Elmau Luxury Spa Retreat

🛶 Explore Alpine Lakes

Paddleboard on Lake Brienz
Swim or kayak in Lake Achensee, Austria
Discover hidden corners of Lake Bohinj, Slovenia

These crystal-clear waters offer a refreshing counterpart to the mountain trails.

🧀 Flavours of the Alps

Savour rustic, regional cuisine with a view:

Chez Vrony, Zermatt – traditional dishes made with organic, locally sourced ingredients
Restaurant Spycher, Zermatt – Swiss classics with flair — think truffle fondue, venison, and mountain wines, with warm, attentive service
Farm-to-table experiences and wine tastings in South Tyrol or Austrian vineyards add a delicious twist to your journey

🎻 Immerse in Alpine Culture

Summer is festival season. Don’t miss:

Verbier Festival, Switzerland – world-class classical music in an intimate alpine setting
Local Bergfeste and village fairs – where folklore, food, and tradition meet

From artisan markets to silent concerts held in natural amphitheatres, there’s always something to discover.

Unfurling the Pearls of French Polynesia

“I am beginning to think simply, to feel only very little hatred for my neighbor— or rather, to love him. All the joys—animal and human—of a free life are mine. I have escaped that which is artificial, I am entering into the truth, into nature.”
– Paul Gaughin, from ‘Noa Noa’ Voyage to Tahiti

Dotting the South Pacific’s vast oceanscape across five unique archipelagos, the mere whisper of French Polynesia evokes a dream state that beckons the wanderlust within us. This land of legends is steeped in mythology, mysticism and Mother Nature at her most idyllic, whose sacred shores will captivate your imagination from the moment you immerse yourself in her embrace.

Upon arriving, the spiritual Mana is an undeniable force, and one soon recognises and respects the energy of this paradise. Calling all seasoned seafarers, outdoor adventurers, naturalists, or those seeking privacy, peace and seclusion; the delicious reward of the Wild & Remote is worthy of the long journey. Unforgettable experiences await : sail across beguiling atolls teeming with marine life, source exquisitely crafted jewellery and woven artistry, only found in this corner of the world, witness Humpback whales in their sanctuary and Green turtles renewing their life cycle at shore, hear the siren song and fire dance of the Marquesans that will send shivers down your spine, scale epic peaks arising from the sea – the list goes on… though need we say more?

Marquesa Islands

Taking a 3h 20m direct flight from Papeete as the only gateway to the Marquesas, makes this one of the most remote destinations off the beaten track. Only six of these twelve islands are inhabited with an estimated 10,000 indigenous people, so bearing witness to its vibrant culture, spiritual beliefs and ancient Polynesian traditions will certainly strike an emotional chord. The dramatic coastlines and deep valleys add grandeur and nobility to a place that bears tremendous significance to all French Polynesians. Start your adventure at waterfalls and the archaeological sites of Nuku Hiva, then visit curious tiki statues on Hiva Oa, where the great artist Paul Gaughin rests in peace, and don’t miss the arboretum and wild horses of Ua Huka. Visiting during the Festival of Arts reveals profound insight on how they cement their heritage and what sets them apart.

Tuamotu Islands

With just under 80 islands and atolls making up the largest chain in the world (and yet inhabited by a mere 16,000), the most memorable way to discover and enjoy this stunning archipelago is by private charter. Here, the underwater action – with its incredible passes in Fakarava and resident dolphin pods in Rangiroa (to name but a few) – is tempting for the most advanced scuba divers. Dive into crystal clear lagoons, gaze in awe at coral blocks composing well-kept marae, sink your toes into pink sand along serene shores, visit the sole vineyard of French Polynesia or take home treasured Tahitian pearls from Manihi. If you must stay on land, Le Tikehau by Pearl Resorts is a breathtaking haven on a private motu, reopening this October. With a plethora of secret bays and authentic stories of the sea, this is a veritable paradise on earth.

Ta'haa

Renowned for its heady scent and production of prized Tahitian vanilla, or sugarcane that transforms into delicious rum, this lovely island has preserved its authenticity well. You’ll be encouraged to fully embrace their slower pace, first accessing by boat from Ra’iatea. Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts is the ultimate address facing the heavenly lagoon on overwater bungalows, ensuring a wholly local experience, also integrating organic materials into their design for a more immersive stay. Don’t miss the coral garden drift dive that sweeps you from the reef into the lagoon.

Bora Bora

Along the Western part of the Society Islands, this volcanic cluster with the original namesake of being ‘created by the gods’ has given rise to the legendary Bora Bora, a soft landing for honeymooners at luxurious resorts floating blissfully above the ocean. A helicopter ride to the Heart of Tupai is a must, followed by a 4×4 safari of the island, and of course, a catamaran sunset cruise to savour the day. Even with an excellent variety to choose from, we still adore Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, whose attention to detail, consistently high service, and majestic views of Mount Otemanu are impressive for all those who step foot inside.

Tetiaroa Atoll

Arriving by Twin-Otter aircraft in 20 minutes from Tahiti, the romance of seeing Tetiaroa for the first time is truly unforgettable, as motus rise out of Le Grand Bleu with vibrant turquoise and sea green hues. Home to The Brando – one of the most coveted eco-resorts in the world – the ultra-private villas, lush island growth and exceptional spa promises an educational retreat and a soulful rejuvenation. Once a summer residence for former Tahitian Kings and Chiefs, the private island is a successful conservation tale with roots since 1966, when Marlon Brando acquired the land and sought to preserve its pristine habitat for future generations. Native Cabbage trees, Green turtles and Coconut crabs are thriving, as are 15 bird species such as Frigates and Boobies who depend on these motus as their nesting sanctuary. Thanks to the efforts of the Tetiaroa Society, scientists use this ecosystem as a research model to experiment what works in harmony with Nature.

Mo'orea

Escaping the buzz of Tahiti, a 35-minute ferry ride takes you to the fertile island of Mo’orea that embraces slow living with a natural abundance in waterfalls, rugged mountains, and marine biodiversity. Moor at the iconic bays of Cook and Opunohu, visit sacred indigenous temples (marae) where ruling chiefs met on tribal matters, or spend an action-filled day getting closer to abundant whales, whiprays and sharks.

Base yourself at the discreet Villa Ginette, an authentic Polynesian faré that steps out onto a lush garden with direct access to the lagoon, adorned with charming interior touches highlighting Polynesian craftsmanship; a perfect glimpse of life as a local islander.

Guarded by Masaai warriors and cradled by the most enthusiastic staff, this is a prime position for two famous migrations as well as a thriving number of big cats, hippos and hyenas. Harken back to the time of early-day explorers and enjoy access to Mara North Conservancy alongside the Masai Mara Reserve.

Cottar's Safaris

Founded in 1919 and into its fourth generation family-run business, Cottar’s has maintained a legendary history boasting the first tented camps that pioneered photographic safaris, and now recognized as barefoot luxury that aims to treat clients as friends, with 20% of their net profit going directly to Wildlife Conservation. The sheer number of repeat guests is testament to the feeling of staying in their ‘home away from home,’ which captures the spirit and essence of going on safari with exceptional guides and staff. Their 1920’s Safari Camp offers 11 tents with an expansive Mess Tent, Explorers Tent, pool, pavilion and spa, complete with night drives, bush walks, ballooning over the Mara or running with Maasai warriors to name but a few experiences. For more privacy, opt for their exclusive 10,000-sq-ft 5-bedroom Bush Villa.
