La Brévine Weather Station

Highlight • Monument

The place in Switzerland with the lowest temperatures in winter: La Brévine is characterized by a harsh and relatively humid climate. In winter, a cold air lake forms in the completely enclosed Vallée de la Brévine during radiation nights (clear skies and little to no wind ensure maximum cooling of the ground via radiation).

Temperatures of −30 °C are not uncommon, earning the place the nickname "Siberia of Switzerland". At the La Brévine measuring station, on January 12, 1987, −41.8 °C was recorded, the lowest temperature ever measured at an official MeteoSchweiz station in Switzerland.

For the 1991–2020 normal period, the average annual temperature is 5.3 °C, with January at −3.5 °C being the coldest and July at 14.4 °C being the warmest monthly average temperatures. On average, around 183 frost days and 36 ice days are to be expected here. There are an average of 15 to 16 summer days per year, while an average of one heat day is recorded.

The MeteoSchweiz measuring station is located at an altitude of 1050 meters.

Col du Châteleu (1,200 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Well-deserved arrival at 1200m at Vieux Châteleu and its typical inn of the region, especially when coming from Grand-Combe Châteleu via Les Gras because it climbs steeply.
It is possible to climb (on foot) to Mont Châteleu which peaks at 1301m and offers an incredible panorama of the surrounding area.

History has also marked this place, because it was the starting point of the numerous crossings of the Franco-Swiss border by the resistance fighter Michel Hollard with the aim of bringing information to the Allies.

In this typical Franche-Comté inn of the region, perched at an altitude of 1,200 metres, you can taste Franche-Comté specialities, seasonal menus and vegetarian dishes. The cuisine is homemade, based on raw, local and/or organic products.
