All four seasons
Choose the proper month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool dawns in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and verify avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and skip quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for access to glaciers, swim only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield more peaceful hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy trails.
