Four seasons
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool dawns in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2025
Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn to enjoy birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings bring calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy trails.
