Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: May 2023
Winter
Stick to designated snow paths and review avalanche conditions before you go. Keep dogs on a leash and avoid secluded zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent widening trails, and head out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Rise early for glacier views, swim only in designated spots, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
