I live in Switzerland and have recorded throughout this winter at those
sort of temperatures with a Sony HiMD and Telinga mic with no
(equipment) problems. Condensation coming back into the warmth was my
biggest worry - I lost a camera once that way - but my gear usually
warms up slowly in my car as I drive home. Above 1500m you will
definitely be walking on snow (I was today at 1200m). I
find "fingerless gloves" very useful to work the gear whilst keeping
things flexible. Wear layers as you'll sweat walking uphill in the
sunshine.
Tip - try doing an altitudinal transect - its spring in the valley
bottoms at 400m - 600m (first cuckoo and barn swallow today), and still
winter way on top.
