Review: The Best Season to Visit Alpe di Siusi in the Dolomites

The best time to visit the Dolomites

1 Mid-June to early October, summer, is the best time for hiking and enjoying the natural scenery.

2 Late June to mid-July: you will see alpine wildflowers in bloom everywhere. This is the busiest period for tourists.

3 Late July to early August: some flowers can still be seen in bloom, depending on the weather.

4 Mid-September to early October: autumn, when the leaves change color. It is slightly quieter than summer, with fewer tourists and cheaper accommodation, but you should check the operating hours of the cable car and chairlift.

5 November to April: winter, when white snow covers the whole area. Very few accommodations and huts on the plateau are open, and you should check the operating hours of the cable car and chairlift.
