High Alpine areas have been seeing more tourists in the past few decades, in part because of the increased infrastructure and transport now available at higher elevations. Glacial and peri-glacial areas are becoming foci of attraction for tourists during the summer months, and climbing, mountaineering, and trekking are becoming more and more popular, attracting masses of sports-minded visitors.
