Four seasons
Choose the best 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 2026
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head out. Leash dogs and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring, valleys come alive with blooms; avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn to enjoy birdlife.
Summer
Start 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.
