Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to limit trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Start early for glacier views, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings foster calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
