Winter in the Pflersch Valley begins around mid-November. The ski resorts are open from December to Easter. In winter, temperatures often fall below zero, and warm clothes are a must. From the end of February/ beginning of March, temperatures get milder. At the beginning of April, the countryside begins to blossom in the valley, and the first signs of spring begin to appear. On Whitsun, the first mountain huts open up again on the mountain pastures and are wonderfully welcoming hiking destinations; the warm, but not too hot days from mid-May until mid/end June are perfect for it. The weather in the mountains is extremely changeable, so you should always pack a jacket, sun protection and a hat in your rucksack. The beginning of July is the time for tours in the high mountain areas and the higher-lying mountain huts including the Magdeburg hut and the Tribulaun hut. In the valley, the lake is excellent for a refreshing dip or a sunbathing session after a walk. At the end of August the temperature drops a little, and it’s pleasantly fresh in the shade and in the evenings. From mid/end September, autumn falls over the land and hiking though the blaze of colours up to the sunny mountain pastures is a fabulous experience. Please make sure that you pack warm clothes in your rucksack. Most mountain huts close at the end of October or on All-Saints’ Day.
