>>2639789pretty great if you do many different sports in a well established fashion next to each other and aren't a poor.
>in the central alps you can climb/via ferrata one day, do a glacier tour the next. ride a bike trail or take a lift and downhill a MTB racetrack. the day after, you rent a boat and sail a bit on a lake to relax. then you hike up to an alm and have beer fresh cheese and soup. the next day, you visit an old mine museum. a 900yo castle and take a 200yo rack railway to somewhere. get smashed at a winery.
+ you can do lots of different shit
+ good infrastructure
+ good trails/long distance trail for beginners
+ cheap alpine huts with great communities / easy to meet people
+ historic sites
+ great for kids as you can usually choose what difficulty you want with route A, B or C to the same peak etc.
+ many huts/Alms to drink beer and have great food.
- lots of laws/protected areas, no camping only emergency bivouac outside certain protected zones
- you hike up a hill, but there is 1k boomers up there already in the pub that took the ski lift
- can be expensive
- can be crowded
the areas farther away are more out obviously as there are fewer people nearby
