Four seasons
Choose the best month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche updates in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2026
Winter
Stick to marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs tethered and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings invite gentler trekking. Opt for less-busy shelters and stay on sturdy trails.
