All year round
Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Align activities with safer, lighter-impact windows: avalanche forecasts in winter, blossoms in spring, cool dawns in summer, and quieter ridges in autumn.
Updated: July 2024
Winter
Remain on mapped snow trails and review avalanche risks before heading out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of secluded areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for ice fields, swim only in approved spots, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings yield gentler hikes. Opt for less crowded huts and stick to sturdy trails.
