Four seasons
Choose the ideal month for your ideal 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: April 2024
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you depart. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring valleys burst with blossoms: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for 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.
