Choose the best month for the 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 2025
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom time in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and set out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in permitted areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable trails.
