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.

Winter
Follow designated snow routes and assess avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent widening trails, and venture out at dawn to catch birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings make for gentler hikes. Opt for quieter refuges and keep to sturdy trails.
