All-year-round
Choose the ideal month for the perfect 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 2024
Winter
Remain on marked snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring signals bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Start early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings set the stage for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
