All Year Round
Choose the month that matches your experience
Match activities to safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2024
Winter
Follow marked snow routes and review avalanche reports before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys; steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and set out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to access glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings lead to calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
