Four seasons
Choose the optimal month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2026
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep pets leashed and avoid secluded zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring, many valleys are in bloom: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings foster gentler hikes. Opt for quieter shelter options and remain on solid trails.
