Year-round
Choose the right month for the right experience
Coordinate activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: December 2024
Winter
Stick to designated snow trails and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of tranquil areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise to catch birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and crisper mornings yield calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to durable trails.
