As far as temperatures are concerned, December and January are unsurprisingly the coldest months, with a maximum of 6°C, compared with 8°C in February. For your spring skiing sessions, on the other hand, the sunshine in the resort means you can enjoy a nice rise in temperature, with a maximum of 13°C in March and 15°C in April.

Depending on your preferred activities and your sensitivity to the cold, you can therefore choose the ideal time for your holiday according to this criterion.
