Four seasons
Choose the ideal month for the ideal experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche forecasts in winter, blossoms in spring, crisp mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in fall.

Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche risk before you venture out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings flowers to many valleys: avoid muddy margins to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn to enjoy 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 mornings make for quieter treks. Opt for less busy huts and stick to sturdy trails.
