For walking, countryside and highland scenery, come from June to September, when highs reach 25–29°C and July is the driest, warmest month. Summer offers the most settled weather, autumn is calm and colourful, and winter brings snow to the hills for those wanting a peaceful cold-weather visit.
Pack light summer clothing with a warm layer for cool evenings, plus sturdy shoes for the hills. A light rain jacket is useful in the shoulder seasons, and winter needs a heavy coat, hat, gloves and snow boots.
