Probably 24-hour average, not so useful.

Try:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zermatt

which gives you 19C daily maximum for July.

19C is roughly halfway between 15C and 25C (15C seems too warm to be the
average minimum temperature at that altitude).

why not? You think both are wrong, or just one of them?

How precise does this information have to be? Most information available
will deal with averages. FWIW, I was in Gimmelwald during mid July a
number of years ago. I had forgotten to take a jacket, and I sure could
have used it. It was cool and misty a lot of the time.

Thank you for a really helpful reply.

Although confused by all the contradictory web sites, I personally
find Wikipedia credible. And its climate charts for other Swiss
cities agree with Weatherbase ( http://www.weatherbase.com/ ) which I
have found useful.
