Overview
Zone not considered to be part of the Alps, delimited at the West by Rhone River, North and east by the Alps.
You won't find very high summits there -all are less than 2000m High- but they are lots of possibilities for Mountainers like climbing, hiking and biking.
Climate is one of the best you can find in Europe, It is hot and dry in summer but not to cold in Winter, There are only 80 raining days per year.
Main raining period is essentially in October-november and march when bad wheather comes from SE. In summer the FIRE RISK is high and some places are not access-allowed.
Some of the places are quite and without inhabitants but big towns and coast proximity can give classical violence against tourists cars or stuff.
