Four seasons
Choose the right month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, crisp mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Follow marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash 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 head out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings bring calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to sturdy trails.
