Low-carbon travel from Zurich, month by month
From Zurich, the warmest place reachable without flying is Rossano Stazione at 31.2 °C in July, for 31.9 kg CO₂e return. In 6 months of the year the train reaches somewhere averaging 18 °C or more within the time budget; in the rest, nothing that warm is modelled within reach by rail.
Three questions, twelve months. Pick the one that matches what you're actually after — the warmest place is rarely the sunniest.
