Four seasons
Choose the right month for the right experience
Coordinate activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Follow marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at sunrise to spot birds.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
