Choose the best month for the best experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Leash dogs and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring, valleys bloom; avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and visit at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings yield gentler hikes. Pick quieter huts and keep to sturdy paths.
