Content: In the Alps the economy  is based
  on  forestry (coniferous trees on  steep slopes), keeping
  dairy cattle and sheep (valley floors, and high pasture in summer), herding
  goats in the highest areas, and meeting the needs of tourists throughout the
  summer and winter. The Alps have hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters,
    so the tourism industry has two profitable seasons; Summer and Winter. During the summer (June to September) the area fills with tourists
  from across Europe, staying in hotels, camping sites and rented homes. Typical
  summer activities include walking, climbing, enjoying the clean air and beautiful
  views, hang gliding and other adventure activities. Winter brings skiing, winter climbing, snow boarding and people
  wanting a 'traditional' Christmas with snow, sleighs and fir trees. Many winter
  resorts have been built specifically for tourism, such as Les Deux Alps and
  Val d'Isere, whilst others have adapted over time, such as Chamonix, Val Ferret
  and Grindelwald. Most winter resorts have a well developed summer tourist industry
  too. Power Generation in Fold Mountains 
The steep slopes and warm summers
  when glacial melt water is plentiful make the Alps ideal for the production
  of electricity through Hydroelectric power plants (HEP). The guaranteed electricity
  supply has attracted industries that need cheap and plentiful electricity,
  such as aluminium smelting, specialist metal products and electro-chemical
  plants.
