The coldest temperature recorded in Switzerland was not actually in the alps, but in La Brévine, a village in the canton of neuchâtel. Reason being that it sits in a bowl at around 1000m altitude which allows cold air to sit and in calm conditions drop quite dramatically.
With that in mind it almost has been significantly colder in the alps, and unofficial colder temperatures have been measured, and the sorts of geographical features that cause La Brévine to be so cold also exist in the alps at higher altitude. There are just no official weather stations on any of them that might record colder temperatures.

I’m not really surprised if this includes mountain tops, in the dead of winter, at night, under a clear sky.
Is it really representative of what most humans have experienced though?
Ireland is a bit warmer than I would expect
Wrong.
In Romania, the lowest temperature ever recorded was -38.5 C
Funnily enough, that -38 for Germany was in Wolnzach, Bavaria in 1929 and not at the top of the highest mountain, Zugspitze.
Wolnzach is a village in a large hop planting area. So, I guess, not usually frigging cold.
