Four seasons
Choose the right month for the right experience
Coordinate activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche risk before you head out. Keep pets on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
The late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy banks to prevent trail widening, and visit at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, bathe only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings lead to gentler hikes. Opt for less-busy huts and stick to sturdy trails.
