Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Match 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 designated snowy routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of secluded areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom season in many valleys: dodge muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber woods and cooler mornings yield gentler hikes. Pick quieter huts and stick to sturdy trails.
