July and August are the hottest months of the year when temperatures reach in excess of 20 degrees centigrade. The winter months can be extremely cold with temperatures dropping to -20 degrees centigrade during the month of January.

Each season has a lot to offer and it is difficult to choose the perfect time to visit. July and August are excellent for camping, winter offers fantastic skiing and spring and autumn display the fantastic foliage and spectacular views.
