A dry window in the western Alps

Quick reads. Lasting takeaways.

Weather

Chamonix runs from 10 to 20 degrees today, Zermatt from 8 to 21. Neither forecast shows rain through the 27th. That is a twelve-degree swing inside a single day, which is softshell weather rather than hardshell weather: wind resistance for a cold valley start, breathable enough by midday. Leave the waterproof in the pack.
