Four seasons
Choose the best month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stick to marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings bloom season to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield more peaceful hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on well-maintained paths.
