Choose the best month for the right experience
Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2027
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: stay off muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Start early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings create calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
