This season is superb for couples seeking a cosy retreat, as many accommodations feature fireplaces, providing a lovely setting for a relaxing break amidst the mist-shrouded peaks.While summer (December to February) brings warmer temperatures, it also coincides with the wet season, meaning higher humidity and a greater chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
