Four seasons
Choose the best month for the right experience
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
Stick to marked snow routes and verify avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and visit at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier visits, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cool mornings bring calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
