The travel year in Wallis, 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 | 51 | 3 | -5 °C |
| February | 90 | 5 | -2 °C |
| March | 59 | 7 | 0 °C |
| April | 28 | 13 | 3 °C |
| May | 24 | 24 | 6 °C |

| September | 49 | 36 | 10 °C |
| October | 23 | 24 | 7 °C |
| November | 4 | 9 | 1 °C |
| December | 43 | 4 | -3 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Wallis 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.
