Four seasons
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Align your activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche assessments in winter, blossoms in spring, cool dawns in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: skip muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn to catch birdlife.
Summer
Start early for glacier access, bathe only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings bring calmer hikes. Opt for less-crowded huts and keep to well-worn paths.
