　　Alpine Region(高山区)

　　Alpine climate-high rainfall (except inner Alpine valley regions such as the upper Inntal), short summers, long winters.

　　Temperatures

　　Summer-up to 95 degrees Fahrenheit/average: 68 degrees Fahrenheit

　　Winter-up to 14 degrees Fahrenheit/average: 32 degrees Fahrenheit

　　Reminders of the country

　　Transient climate influenced by the Atlantic (in the West) and a continental influence in the Southeast. Before starting your walk or hike in the mountains please inform yourself about the present weather conditions, danger of avalanches(雪崩) or route conditions. Warnings of locals should not be ignored.

　　Travel times

　　The best time for hiking and walking tours or to visit a city is from April to October. The peak season for summer vacation is July and August. The best time to enjoy your winter vacation is from December to March.
