Year-round seasons
Choose the best month for the perfect 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: March 2024
Winter
Stick to marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for access to glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings invite calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable trails.
