Four seasons
Choose the right month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2027
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom time in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent widening of trails, and go at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Start early for glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings invite calmer hikes. Seek quieter refuges and stay on sturdy paths.
