Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you go. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Opt for less-busy huts and stay on sturdy paths.
