The Four Seasons
Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche updates in winter, blooms in spring, cool starts in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on a leash and avoid quiet zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin 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.
