Year-round seasons
Choose the right month for the right 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 2025
Winter
Follow marked snow paths and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is flowering season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent widening trails, and head out at dawn for bird activity.
Summer
Start early for glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings lead to calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable trails.
