Four seasons
Choose the optimal month for the ideal experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blossoms, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow trails and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings bloom season to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn to enjoy birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier visits, swim only in authorized areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings lead to gentler hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and stick to durable trails.
