We have stayed in nearby Weggis a few times around the Christmas/New Year period, and have yet to see any snow on the ground in the lake area. The surrounding mountains have modest skiing areas, but there is usually a decent covering of snow on the higher local peaks. This includes the Rigi, which can be reached easily by mountain railway from Vitznau. The main weather influence to be aware of is the Hoch Nebel (high cloud), which is undoubtedly linked to the large bodies of cold lake water in the region. It manifests itself in a dense cloud layer, which typically sits about 1 kilometre above the lake. It often settles for long periods, so can make for a somewhat gloomy atmosphere. However, you can very quickly pass though this cloud layer, above which you are rewarded with bright sunshine and spectacular views down to the top of the clouds. An experience not to be missed. In Switzerland, everything keeps running even in the worst weather conditions, so don't worry about getting isolated in this beautiful Hotel.

I was there in August and it was fine. Plus you are on the shores of the lake, which creates a microclimate that never gets too hot.
