The French Alps have a temperate climate suitable for relaxation, with warm summers averaging 27°C and cooler winters averaging 10°C. The region receives more rainfall in winter than summer. Fauna have adapted to the climate through behaviors like seasonal coat changes, while flora have adapted through growth forms that resist wind and snow like cushions, rosettes or deep roots. Abiotic factors shaping the ecosystem include mountains, rivers, climate and rainfall.

For example, the Alpine salamander is the only European amphibian to give birth to fully developed young. Another example includes the mountain hare, the stoat, and the ptarmigan, who change their brown coats to white in winter to avoid predation.

The tapeworm can enter include vascular plants, such as 800 species of the Ibex's body and live in its intestines and will mosses, 300 liverworts, 2500 lichens, more than eventually make the Ibex extremely ill. One organism 5000 fungi, 80 mammal species, and 200 breeding (the tapeworm) is benefiting and the other organism bird species. The vegetation of the region is the (the ibex) is being harmed. An example of a most important biotic factor, as deep valleys are commensalistic relationship is between an Alpine rich in a variety of habitats. Several trees include, Ibex and grass. When the Ibex excretes its waste onto Quercus robur, Q. petraea, Q. pubescens, and other the grass, the grass is provided fertilizer and will be broad-leaved trees able to grow. This is a commensalistic relationship because one organism (the grass) is benefiting and the other organism (the ibex) is not affected. An example of a mutalistic relationship is the between an Alpine Ibex and a baby Alpine Ibex. The adult ibex will protect its child by herding it away from the steep edges and cliffs. In this relationship, the baby ibex is benefiting from this relationship and the adult ibex is not affected. The adult ibex is neither gaining or losing, creating a mutualistic relationship.
