Frequently asked questions about the weather in the Dolomites

Is there much snow in the Dolomites?

Yes, the Dolomites receive plenty of snow, particularly in higher-altitude areas and ski resorts, although snowfall and snow reliability vary depending on altitude and the time of year. Especially in the months of January and February, the snow conditions are very stable, while at the beginning or end of the season there may also be periods with less snow.

How cold is it in the Dolomites?

How cold it gets in the Dolomites depends largely on altitude. In winter temperatures in the valleys are usually between -8°C and -2°C, while it gets significantly colder at higher altitudes and on the mountain peaks, with values of -17°C or below possible. In summer, temperatures in the valleys are pleasantly mild, usually ranging from 18°C to 25°C, while it can be considerably cooler at higher altitudes and in the early morning.

Does it rain a lot in the Dolomites?

The Dolomites, particularly the South Tyrolean Dolomites, are among the drier regions of the Alps, as the mountains shield them from much of the moisture coming from the surrounding areas. Statistically speaking, the greatest amount of precipitation falls during the summer months from June to August. However, this is not due to days of continuous rain, but rather to short, intense summer thunderstorms in the afternoon. Autumn, on the other hand, is characterised by many clear, dry days.

When to avoid Dolomites?

The periods between the main seasons, from mid-April to mid/late May and from mid-October to the end of November, are generally not the best times to visit the Dolomites. During these months there is very little going on; the ski season is over or has not yet begun, and the summer operation of the lifts has not yet started or is already over. The same applies to mountain huts and restaurants in the valley. Many businesses use precisely these periods between the main seasons for their annual holidays and closures.
