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

Wintertime
Stick to mapped snow routes and review avalanche reports before you go. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Review safety bulletin
Springtime
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and go at sunrise for birdlife.
Summertime
Start early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Fall
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
