It’s true that it can become cool in autumn if it rains for a few days. These are the days for sightseeing, museum visits or the like. But as soon as the sun comes out autumn days are marvelous. Mountains look magnificent in the autumn colors. It will be comfortable and just right for traveling.

Average temperature in September is 15°C (or 59°F), in October 10°C (or 50°F).
