Choose the best month for the right experience
Schedule activities for safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, flowering season in spring, crisp mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Stick to signed snow paths and review avalanche status before heading out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of tranquil areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: dodge muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in approved spots, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings make for gentler hikes. Pick less-busy huts and stay on sturdy trails.
