While Europe's Alpine resorts are world-renowned for their thrilling winter sports, many slow down and transform into havens for more relaxing outdoor activities once the snow melts.
Building on the growing “playcation” sports travel trend, many visitors are drawn through the warmer months for hiking, mountain biking and trail running.
It's not just the trails that are attracting visitors, however, but also the mountain greens and fairways with golf becoming one of the Alps' biggest summer attractions.
Set against dramatic mountain backdrops, the high-altitude golf courses combine championship layouts with crisp air, luxury hotels and panoramic scenery.
These destinations in the Swiss and Austrian Alps prove that Europe's premier ski resorts are just as appealing long after the ski lifts stop turning.
