November - March (Winter)

This is the time when people prefer to visit Liechtenstein. The stunning Alpine region is a haven for skiing enthusiasts. It is not overly crowded, so the pristine natural scenery is breathtaking. You can expect frequent snowfalls. The weather is ideal for winter sports with temperatures hovering around 41 - 50° F, sometimes going down to 30°F. On average, it rains or snows a fair amount: 2 to 6 times per month.

If you are visiting in the winter, head to the small town of Malburn, perched on an alpine ridge, the town boasts several ski lifts, perfect snow conditions and a natural ice rink. Its many groomed trails and après ski activities make for a fantastic winter getaway. For kids, Malbi Park Kinderland offers beginners ski lessons and programs, and the area also boasts a large network of Nordic ski trails.

Also in winter, hiking in the Alps and valley are extremely popular. During the holidays, colorful festivals and lively events are held, which allows visitors to get a taste of the traditions and mingle with the locals.
