What type of climate occurs in the highest parts of the Apennine Range?

The climate of the highest section of the Apennine Range is continental, similar to that found in the interior of Europe, but it is moderated by Mediterranean influences.1

This region experiences cold winters and hot summers, with average July temperatures ranging between 75° and 95° F (24° and 35° C). Snowfalls are frequent in these higher elevations. While the range lacks contemporary glaciers, there are traces of erosive action from glaciers dating back to the last Ice Age.12
