Choose the right month for the perfect experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooming in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet areas.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy margins to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in permitted zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to well-maintained trails.
