Align activities with safer, lighter-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cooler mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2025
Winter
Remain on marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep pets leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: skip muddy edges to limit trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and crisper mornings lead to calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
