Four seasons
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Schedule activities to safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Follow designated snow routes and verify avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep pets on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Start early for glacier views, 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.
