Year-round seasons
Choose the best month for your ideal experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before venturing out. Keep dogs on a leash and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is flowering season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for 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.
