The travel year in Südtirol, month by month
The year as a table to read and to cite: crowd level for every month, plus weather comfort and temperature from the climate normals.
| Month | Crowd level0–100, season-relative | Weather comfort0–100, profile “mild” | Avg temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 42 | 3 | -5 °C |
| February | 48 | 5 | -2 °C |
| March | 31 | 10 | 1 °C |
| April | 19 | 19 | 5 °C |
| May | 24 | 32 | 9 °C |
| June | 51 | 58 | 15 °C |
| July | 80 | 64 | 16 °C |
| August | 95 | 61 | 16 °C |
| September | 58 | 43 | 11 °C |
| October | 36 | 26 | 7 °C |
| November | 5 | 10 | 0 °C |
| December | 37 | 4 | -4 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Südtirol itself, not the busiest destination in Europe. The figures say when it is quiet here — not where it is quieter than elsewhere.
Weather comfort 0–100 from the climate normals, profile “mild” – the same profile as the recommendation above, not the selection in the calendar. A “–” means the data for that month is missing.
