+Hotels start reopening and the light turns golden.

–Many places open only from Easter.

March sees the first hotels and restaurants reopen. It is a good month for the Path of the Gods and the villages without the summer crush, if you accept some closed doors.

Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
