Four seasons
Choose the optimal month for the right experience
Match activities to safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom time in many valleys: avoid soggy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in permitted areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings lead to calmer hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and stay on sturdy paths.
