Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
