What til pack, what til skip

Pack for the next 7 days
  • Layers - the daily swing is 20°C, so mornings feel nothing like afternoons
  • A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
  • A packable rain shell - 2 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
Worth avoiding
  • Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 55 km/h.
  • If your dates are flexible, avoid januar, mars and desember - historically the least comfortable months here.
