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.
Updated: January 2025
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and verify avalanche conditions before you go. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring bursts with blossoms in many valleys: steer clear of muddy margins to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier visits, swim only in approved areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and crisper mornings foster gentler hikes. Opt for quieter lodges and stick to sturdy trails.
