All-Year Seasons
Choose the best month for the ideal 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: May 2024
Winter Season
Follow marked snow routes and assess avalanche risk before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Springtime
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: stay away from muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and go at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer Season
Start early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn Season
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
