Approx. March – May
Spring
Temperatures rise and vegetation turns green; increased rain often brings mist and cloud. A common window for peak viewing and valley walks, with showers and slippery paths to watch for.
What to expect
- Good odds of mist and sea of clouds
- Higher water in the valleys
- Frequent showers — pack rain gear
- Crowds vary with public holidays
Packing:Waterproof shell, non-slip shoes, light fleece
Approx. June – August
Summer
The mountains stay relatively cool, making summer a popular retreat and a school-holiday peak. Thunderstorms and heavy rain can trigger temporary crowd limits or route changes — follow official notices.
What to expect
- Cool under tree cover
- Afternoon thunderstorms likely
- Busy during school holidays
- Cave stops work well on wet days
Packing:Quick-dry clothing, raincoat, sun protection, insect repellent
Approx. September – November
Autumn
Less rain and clearer air make autumn a favourite for long-distance views and photography. The day–night temperature gap widens, so warm layers are needed at dawn and dusk.
What to expect
- High visibility and clear views
- Marked day–night temperature swing
- Crowds around public holidays
- Layered autumn colour in the forests
Packing:Insulating mid-layer, windproof shell, hiking shoes
Approx. December – February
Winter
Cold spells can bring rime, glaze ice and snow, and temporary measures may apply to icy high-elevation sections. Check road, cableway and walkway status before setting out.
What to expect
- Possible snow and rime
- Ice risk on some sections
- Possibly shortened opening hours
- Fewer visitors overall
Packing:Warm clothing, non-slip shoes, gloves and a hat
