Align activities with safer, lighter-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2027
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of 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
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
