he winter time brings a white-wash of icy lakes and snowcapped peaks which make for a great ski experience, while the summer months bring an entirely different experience with conditions prime for swimming in lakes or hiking through flowery meadows.

Of note, the winter-time flock of visitors to the ski resorts does not inhibit the rural life of the remote valleys, where residents have become hardened to the constant threat of avalanches as well as the harsh climate.
