The Alpe di Siusi and the villages at the foot of the Sciliar are worth a visit in every season of the year
Spring
In early spring the Alpe di Siusi is still covered with snow and the Alpe di Siusi - Val Gardena skiing area remains open until mid-April. The temperatures increase slowly but steadily. The sun gets warmer and the first spring flowers start to bloom on the alpine meadows - a colourful natural highlight! In the evening the temperatures drop notably, which is why you should definitely bring a winter jacket with you. On the Sciliar massif (2,563 m a.s.l.) it snows until June.
Summer
In summer when the heat on the valley floor is almost unbearable, you will definitely enjoy the more refreshing temperatures on the Alpe di Siusi. In August, temperatures climb above 30°C and the sun is quite warm. Put sunscreen on, cover your head and stay in the shadow if you undertake excursions on hot summer days. However, in the evenings the temperatures tend to cool down and a light jacket may be necessary.
Autumn
In autumn, the natural landscape is simply amazing. The alpine meadows and forests change colours to shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. The temperatures drop but there are still some warm days as well. For this season we recommend you take both warm and light clothes with you. Between October and November the first snowflakes will fall on the Sciliar massif.
Winter
The skiing areas are open from early/mid-December to mid April. The temperatures drop well below 0°C, especially at night. In winter, sports enthusiasts spend unforgettable days in the sunny skiing area which is directly connected to the pistes of the Val Gardena and part of the Dolomiti Superski ski region.
