Seasons

Mountain weather is anything but predictable, but the pleasant 20ºCs (approx. 70–85ºF) reign in summer between June to mid-September, while the altitude and terrain prevent the build up of heat common on neighboring plains.

At the other extreme you’ll find a good covering of snow everywhere in winter, from mid-December to mid-March, when temperatures consistently stay below freezing and when northerly winds can make temperatures drop below -30ºC (-22ºF) for days on end.

Spring (April, May) and Autumn (mid-Sept to Nov) can be more variable and unpredictable but temperatures usually don’t stray too far from the 10ºC–20ºC band (approx. 50º–70ºF) in the valleys for long.

When To Go

Avoid the summer crowds if you can
