Select the right month for the right experience
Coordinate activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Follow designated snow routes and verify avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep pets leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys; steer clear of muddy edges to limit trail widening, and hike at dawn 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.
