Weather in May 2022 Jungfrau Region

Short summary – read this first

A traveler named Drea is planning her first trip to Switzerland in late May and wants to know about the weather in the Jungfrau region, including Interlaken and Jungfraujoch. She’s particularly curious if she needs winter clothes due to potential snow and whether the temperature range of 8-19 degrees Celsius in Interlaken is accurate. Packing appropriately for different temperatures is essential for her trip.

Key takeaways:
  • Expect temperatures in the Jungfrau region to be cooler than in Zurich, especially at higher altitudes where it may still be snowy.
  • Dress in multiple layers to stay comfortable as temperatures can drop at night.
  • Pack some sunscreen for sunny mountain trips, as the sun can be strong even in spring.
  • Check the weather forecast closer to your trip, as conditions can change quickly in May.

    Hi all,

    I will be taking my first trip to Switzerland in Spring and I was wondering what would the weather be like in the Jungfrau region – Interlaken, Jungfraujoch, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald etc during 23-30th May 2022. And what will be the weather in Zurich? The internet says Interlaken region will be between 8-19 degrees. is this correct?

    Also, will there be snow at Jungfraujoch (top of Europe) and do I need to pack winter clothes for this?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Drea,

    The end of May will be already better and a bit warmer than during winter, but there will be probably still snow above (1800 – 2000 m). In Zurich it will be already spring but at the Jungfraujoch there will be still winter. Note, that the weather may change easily in May, I would also expect some rain.

    8-19 degrees for the Interlaken region is reasonable. But if you go up higher it will be colder. (Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen end especially at Jungfraujoch.) During daytime it will be warmer while for the night it gets colder. Also the sun will have already force, to make sure to have some against sunburn for the mountain trips (for your face). And dress in multiple layers. That is the best advice in general.
