All-year
Choose the best month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stick to designated snow trails and review avalanche conditions prior to your trip. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier viewing, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings create calmer hikes. Opt for less busy huts and stay on sturdy trails.
