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.
