Swiss mountain temperatures in July – expectations
A traveler named Dizzy1021 is planning a trip to the mountains in Switzerland in mid-July and is unsure about the expected temperatures at higher altitudes. They are looking for examples of temperatures at places like Jungfraujoch to help with their preparation.
- Expect temperatures at Jungfraujoch in mid-July to be around 10 degrees Celsius, with lows of 2-3 degrees and highs of 15 degrees.
- Remember to pack layers for your mountain trip, as the weather can change quickly.
- It's commonly said you lose about 1 degree Celsius for every 100 meters of elevation, so consider this when analyzing temperature differences.

During all my reading on Switzerland, I am still uncertain what temperatures to expect as we ascend the mountains, and the temperature at the top of the mountains during our visit in mid July. Please provide some examples of the expected temperatures at those higher altitudes. Thank you for your help !

Hi Dizzy1021 and welcome to MySwissAlps!
Jungfraujoch, today had a high of 8 degrees Celsius. The towns down in the valley below, like Wengen had a high of 27 degrees.
They say you lose 1 degree for every 100 meters you climb so that makes about sense. Wengen is 1300 meters almost and Jungfraujoch is almost 3400 meters (2100 meters difference and 19 degree difference).
I’d expect in July for the temperatures to be around 10 degrees Celsius. perhaps 2-3 degrees as a low and 15 or so as a high.
Certainly, anything is possible though! Always tricky to plan for mountain trips – best to pack layers to be prepared for different weather
Lucas, thanks for the update !
