![]() I did a bit of climbing in the Massif Central and Provence areas last summer but it very much wasn't a climbing holiday, and I had to climb fast before my family got bored. A lovely valley where you can combine valley sport with big mountain stuff, long hut walks, via Ferrata, road biking. No destination guide yet but some of it is on the Rockfax app. We spent last summer in Otztal in Austria. Chris's article is a little old now but the basics are useful. Lofoten makes a wonderful destination for July. ![]() ![]() I have been there three times in July/August when it is too hot for a proper climbing holiday, but the non-climbing family members love it so much they keep wanting to go back. Our recent Destination article to Val Pennavaire is a great example. If, however, you are on a family or leisurely trip then pick and area with some shade and you can get routes in with early starts or late finishes. I would avoid most of the France/Spain/Italy/Greece areas if you are after a full-on climb-every-day climbing holiday. A lot of European destinations are too hot in July although sometimes that can depend on the type of holiday you are after.
