    Hi Sofi123 and welcome to MySwissAlps!

    The weather in those towns you are planning to visit will be chilly, especially at night. I would guess, on average around 5 degrees.

    If you are planning to go up into the mountains do expect the weather to be under zero for sure.

    Thank you Lucas.

    Actually I don’t have a problem with chilly weather, but I do have with rainy weather because it will not allow me to do the walking tours.
