Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and review avalanche risk before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to limit trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
