Coordinate activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche risks before heading out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings foster calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
