How we calculate the score
For mountain destinations, we calculate two scores per month — skiing and hiking — and display the higher of the two.
- 40% snow cover (slope T° corrected by lapse rate -6.5°C/1000m)
- 40% winter thermal comfort (-5 to 5°C optimal)
- 20% sunshine
- Off-season penalty: ×0.70 adjacent months · ×0.35 outside season
- 40% temperature (10–22°C optimal)
- 40% rain (frequency + daily intensity)
- 20% sunshine
