Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Coordinate activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2027
Winter
Stick to defined snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: stay off muddy edges to limit trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield gentler hikes. Opt for quieter huts and keep to sturdy paths.
