    Hi Goh,

    The winter sports season in the higher regions ends mid to end April. The temperature depends on where you are; height is a major factor. In March it’s just chilly in the lower vallies but still winter high up in the mountains and some higher vallies (e.g. St. Moritz, Zermatt). You need warm clothing or at least lots of layers for mountain excursions. The vallies in the Ticino area are the warmest on average.
