Choose the best month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions ahead of your trip. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings lead to more serene hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to sturdy paths.
