Four seasons
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Follow labeled snow trails and review avalanche forecasts before you go. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of less active zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield gentler hikes. Opt for more secluded huts and stay on sturdy trails.
