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

Winter
Follow marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and go at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier visits, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings bring calmer hikes. Seek quieter huts and stay on sturdy trails.
