Year-round
Choose the best month for the right 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 updates before heading out. Keep pets leashed and avoid secluded zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring, flowers peak in many valleys: steer clear of muddy margins to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and brisk mornings lead to more peaceful hikes. Opt for less-frequented huts and stick to sturdy trails.
