As summers in the Mediterranean get hotter, more of us are turning to Europe’s beautiful lakes and mountains for a cooler alternative. Whether it’s soaking up the glamour of the Italian lakes, hiking through flower-filled meadows in the Austrian Tyrol or hurtling down a black run on a mountain bike in the French Alps, we’d love to hear about your favourite summer holidays on the lakes and mountains of Europe.
If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
