Pick the right month for the right 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: June 2024
Winter season
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Springtime
Late spring is bloom period in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail erosion, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer season
Begin early for glacier viewing, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Fall season
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stick to durable trails.
