Dolomites and Austria what time to visit?
Hello All,
I'm planning a honeymoon trip for me and my fiance to visit the Dolomites this summer. We want to stay in Santa Magdalena as our base and then explore Seceda and Cinque Torri with a few hiking day trips. Afterwards make our way to Austria to Salzburg and Hallstat visiting the Salzkammergut region.
I've read different articles online saying July can be one of the rainiest or wettest months (2+weeks of so rainfall) along with being the warmest in the Dolomites versus August or September?(This answer seems to vary) I'm no stranger to hiking in the rain as I live in the Pacific Northwest ( Oregon) so I'm used to Alpine environments. Although for the purposes of the trip I'd prefer better weather.
Would love to hear everyone's opinion!
Cheers..
Willem.

Weather is always unpredictable in the Alps.
Neither Vilnoess Valley/Val di Funes nor Groeden Valley/Val Gardena or the Falzarego Pass area are particularly rainy in Summer (unlike Hallstatt and the Salzkammergut!).
In the second half of July, 2 weeks without a drop of rain are much more likely than 2 weeks of conntinuous rainfall.
In the mountan areas you mention, it will never get really hot, becous of the altitude. Things are different for towns down in the big valleys like Bolzano/Bozen or Trento.

I was in the Dolomites from December 1 through 13, 2021 - The weather was perfect (no rain!) -- mostly blue skies -- one glorious snow day and temps in the 20's to 30's (I spent nights in the following places and made day trip to nearby towns -- Chiusa (2N), Soprabolzano (4 N), Merano (3N))

When would be the best time from June to September to go to Salzburgerland? Could be nice to know for a later occasion.
