Four seasons
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Align activities with safer, low-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in marked zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings create gentler hikes. Opt for quieter huts and remain on durable trails.
