Year-round
Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Align activities with safer, low-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blossoms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: September 2023
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and contemplate microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
