Coordinate activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2027
Winter
Stick to designated snow trails and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise 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 lead to calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy trails.
