Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Schedule activities during safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Follow mapped snow routes and review avalanche risk before heading out. Keep pets leashed and avoid tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and go at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
