All-year round
Choose the ideal month for the perfect experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Stick to designated snow trails and verify avalanche conditions before you go. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of tranquil areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: skip muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in approved spots, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and crisp mornings foster mellower hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and stay on well-trodden paths.
