Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Pair 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 designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on leash and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom time in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent widening of trails, and set out at dawn 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.
