Choose the right month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: June 2027
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys; steer clear of muddy edges to prevent 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 bring calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
