  • Hello Nome587,

    The weather in the Alps is temperate and unpredictable. We suggest that guests dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is flexible and allows for layering. Casual, cotton clothing is recommended. A warm sweater or jacket will provide warmth on a chilly early morning walk, a late night stroll, or a hike at high altitudes.

    In Europe, especially in finer restaurants, it is generally customary to dress somewhat formally. Slacks or a dress for women and a jacket for men are acceptable dining attire. but not required. It is advisable to avoid wearing jeans, sneakers or shorts to dinner. You may also wish to dress up a bit for the welcome reception and the farewell dinner, but by all means be comfortable.

    In August, the average temperatures on this trip will be from the mid 70s to the mid 50s with a possibility of rain. Weather.com is great website to look up the weather information.

    Hope this helps,
    Emily
