Four 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 2027
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
The late spring is bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Head out early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings foster calmer hikes. Opt for less-busy huts and stick to well-worn paths.
