Four seasons
Pick the right month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2027
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on leashes and skip quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In many valleys, late spring brings blooms: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and visit at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated spots, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings bring calmer hikes. Pick less busy huts and stay on well-traveled paths.
