Good to Know

  • Winter layers are essential from November through April—even short walks require thermal underwear and windproof jackets due to both cold and wet conditions.
  • July and August offer the best balance of weather, though expect mixed sun and rain with 124–131 mm of monthly rainfall.
  • If skiing or snowboarding, December through March offers reliable snow depth, though February–March can see the heaviest falls. Always check local avalanche risk before venturing off-piste.
  • The dramatic reduction in daylight hours (4.9 hours in January vs. 9.3 hours in July) affects mood and activity planning in winter months.
  • Road conditions and visibility can deteriorate rapidly in winter and shoulder seasons due to frequent snowfall and fog in this high-altitude valley location.
