All-year
Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Pair activities with safer, lighter-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2025
Winter
Stick to designated snow trails and review avalanche conditions prior to heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of tranquil areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: skip muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in authorized spots, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings yield gentler hikes. Opt for less crowded huts and remain on robust trails.
