Year-round
Choose the best month for the right experience
Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks during winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stick to marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings lead to quieter hikes. Opt for less crowded huts and stick to durable trails.
