The best time to explore the area is
outside of the peak holiday period of July and August, when the weather is not
quite so hot, but it is usually sunny and warm. In winter time rainy days are a
lot rarer than in England and the days tend to be sunny with cold nights.
February is often very pleasant and can be quite warm in the day. At this time
of the year there are usually breathtaking views of snowy mountaintops, the
area being at the foothill of the Alps. It also enables visitors to take
advantage of bargain air fares
