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

Winter
Stick to designated snow trails and review avalanche reports beforehand. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of tranquil 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 glacier visits, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to durable paths.
