Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche updates in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head 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 go at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Start 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 durable paths.
