Choose the best month for the perfect 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: August 2024
Winter
Stay on designated snow trails and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy margins to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in designated zones, and use microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings foster gentler hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to sturdy trails.
