Liechtenstein: When to Go

You can visit Liechtenstein any time of the year. Summer lasts roughly from June to September and offers the most pleasant climate for hiking. Unfortunately, you won't be the only tourist during this period, so prices can be high. You'll find much better deals during the shoulder seasons of April-May or late-September-October.

If you're keen on winter sports, resorts in the Alps begin operating in late November, move into full swing around Christmas, and close down when the snow begins to melt in April.

Weather

Despite all the mountains, Liechtenstein enjoys a relatively mild climate. In most cases, winters are cold but moderated by Liechtenstein's seclusion which keeps things snug but also lets in a warm, southerly wind (known locally as the Föhn ). Summers are pleasant with highs averaging 25°C (77°F) but substantial wet spells are likely and tend to linger.
