Climate in Catalonia: The climate varies enormously by altitude. On the coast, winters are mild and you can run year-round. In the Pyrenees, snow covers the peaks from November to May. The ideal window is late spring and autumn: mountain trails are open, temperatures are pleasant and the forests burst with colour. Summer is good in high mountains but hot at lower elevations.
