When Is the Best Time To Visit Liechtenstein?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Liechtenstein depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein is best visited in summer, from June to August, when both lowland and mountainous areas have the most pleasant weather. Warm days encourage sightseeing and hiking and biking. However, it is important to remember that it also rains heavily in summer and storms are common.

The spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) months, although slightly cooler than the summer months, are still a good time to travel to Liechtenstein. In spring, greening mountain slopes and flowering stretches of fields make hiking more enjoyable. Also in autumn, nature taking on colorful hues encourages active recreation.

The winter period, from November to March, is outside the main tourist season. On the other hand, in the higher parts of the mountains the skiing season continues then.

Tourist season month by month. Legend

Tourist season - time period with sightseeing-friendly weather (or sunbathing in the case of small island countries) for the average tourist. For countries with a large geographical spread, the most visited places were taken into account and the data were averaged. For selected countries, seasonal holidays were also taken into account, as long as they significantly affect the tourist traffic in this period.

The best time to travel, you can count on very good weather.

A good time to travel, however, sometimes there can be some weather conditions that make the visit a bit difficult.

The spring months bring longer and warmer days. Daytime temperatures oscillate between 13°C - 15°C, however, nights remain slightly cooler (around 5°C - 7°C).

The area around the Rhaetian Alps is cooler, especially the higher parts of the mountains, where the mercury bar can drop to several degrees above 0°C, and frosts can occur at night.

In spring, rainfall is abundant in both lowland and mountain areas. On average, a dozen days a month are overcast and with passing rainfall. Despite this, you can still count on bright and sunny days. With the first rays of sunshine, nature awakens to life. Greening mountain slopes and flowery fields encourage hiking, and bicycle escapades along mountain trails.
