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: April 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you go. Keep dogs on a leash and avoid quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise 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.
