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

Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and avoid 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 glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
