Regardless of the season, you will probably experience nights with temperatures near or even below 0ºC. It usually gets chilly in the evenings and the mornings are cold. Days are often hot, but it will be windy and often cold or even freezing on passes. When you get out of your tent in the early morning, you will need to put on warm trousers, a pullover and a windproof jacket, but as soon as the sun’s rays hit camp, you will want to take these off. Rain is very rare, but may last for a few hours when it comes. Snowfalls are more frequent in the higher mountains. These are not heavy in late spring, summer and autumn, but are often accompanied by wind which increases the chill factor.
