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

Winter
Stick to mapped snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and start at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Head out early for glaciers, swim only in approved areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings create calmer hikes. Pick quieter huts and stay on sturdy trails.
