Is Kitzbühel too hot in summer?

Which months in Kitzbühel have good weather but fewer tourists?

January (climate 7/10, crowd index 0) and February (climate 7/10, crowd index 0) — shoulder months with above-average climate and below-median search-interest. Often the best value-for-weather trade.

How high can UV get in Kitzbühel on the sunniest days?
