Four seasons
Pick the right month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stick to designated snow paths and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on leash and steer clear of tranquil areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy margins to prevent widening trails, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for initial-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
