Where this comes from
- Weather is what’s typical for those dates over 1991–2020, not a forecast. Daily highs and lows come from the nearest good weather station where there is one; otherwise they’re estimates for the area, and the card says so.
- How busy a place usually is, ski seasons and events are our own notes from official tourism sites. Dates change every year, so check the official site before you book.
- Travel times are rough estimates from the distance, not flight schedules.
- No prices. We don’t show prices we can’t vouch for, and no place pays to be listed.
- Entry rules change and depend on your passport: always check the official page linked on each place.
