Year-round
Choose the best month for the ideal 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: April 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche risks beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: dodge muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and start at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler dawns lead to gentler hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy trails.
