The climate in the Italian Alps
The high peaks of the Italian Alps provide for varied weather conditions. The cold and snowy winters attract skiers and the region is popular with hikers in summer due to the cooler summer days.
While a jacket is definitely useful at higher altitudes, you can look forward to Mediterranean temperatures and around 300 sunny days a year at the foot for the mountain range. This makes the Italian Alpine foothills a popular hiking destination for mountain lovers.
