Will May be snowy in the Dolomites?
We will be staying in Badia in South Tyrol at the end of May this year. I realize that it's the off season and lots of things are closed between winter and summer, but I can't seem to find any details on what the weather and conditions will be like.
I don't expect snow on any of the passes or roads in May, but will the area be muddy/dry/snow-covered then? We're not to do any major hiking but we were thinking of taking a gondola or two up the peaks to take in the view and walk around a bit.
Just wanted to know if we should plan to do these at lower elevations, or stick to a trip to Cortina and Canazei to take in the towns there instead of trips up the mountains.
