Four seasons
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: February 2026
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you go. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Start early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
