I don't want it snowing or anything, though we have a 4-season tent. If a hot spring is thrown in, even better!! I am thinking of Zion but I have already been there. Thank you for your time!

What do you think about Living in alps mountains?

Well, craziest of all ideas i ever had. Go to the alps and live in the mountains for some months maybe 6? What do you suggest about it? I am aware of the risks involving life and death. Other than that?

I did winter cycling trip across scottish highlands last winter for 52 days. I have a winter mounteineering tent 4+season tent. And Have a reasonable wild camping experiance.

All i am looking for is travel partner and some tips on what do u recommend doing.

Cheers

Answer
That is quite easy to do: all countries which are in the Alps area have mounteneering Clubs (German Alpines Club/Austrian/Swiss/French/Club Alpino Italy) and they have a lot of cottages there. There is a huge number of trekking paths (from towns in the Valley and between cottages). There are some famous trekks: e.g. Munich/Germany crossing to Venice/Italy = appr. 15 days.

You need to be a member of one of the clubs which gives you the right to stay at this cottages.

You can also trekk with a tent (which does not really make sense with he infrastructure available), some towns and areas have limitations for "wild camping" e.g. St. Moritz in Switzerland.

In the summer there is an easier way: you need only a good sleeping back and a biwak-sack and just sleep where you want.
