Notes from nearby Garmisch-Partenkirchen (31 km away)
Füssen doesn't have its own notes for January yet — these are about Garmisch-Partenkirchen, close enough to share the season.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen's forum puts January and February around freezing on average, genuinely cold, with temperatures capable of dropping to -10°C. Regulars call the skiing conditions great in a good snow year, and recommend dressing for cold and wet if walking the surrounding countryside — the Garmisch Classic ski area typically opens by this point in the season.
Other months in Füssen
Füssen's forum calls June one of the better months — mild days and cool nights that regularly dip below 15°C — but warns it's also one of the wettest, alongside August. Regulars recommend packing a waterproof jacket and a warm layer regardless of the season, since the weather here changes quickly enough that long-range forecasts aren't worth trusting.
