Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2027
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring signals bloom season in many valleys; steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise to observe birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to durable paths.
