Since the end of the second world war The Alps have become the winter and summer play ground of European urban dwellers. Winter
The Alps are a very popular destination amongst winter tourists. Ski resorts such as Val d'Isere and Les Deux Alps have been purpose-built. These areas are very crowded in the winter but tend to be quieter in the summer. However, traditional ski resorts tend to be busy throughout the year. Summer
Between June and September The Alps is heavily populated with walkers, cable-car riders and para gliders. The huge number of tourist visitors to The Alps has led to them becoming the most threatened mountain chain in the world. This is in terms of its fragile ecological and physical system. Farming and Forestry
Coniferous trees are the main trees forested in the Alps. They are ideally suited to the Alpine environment.
