Four Seasons
Choose the best month for the optimal experience
Match activities to safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: May 2024
Winter
Stick to designated snow paths and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep pets on leashes and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in approved zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings invite calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to sturdy trails.
