All-year
Choose the best month for the ideal 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: May 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and check avalanche reports before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom time in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings bring calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to durable paths.
