Year-round seasons
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: August 2024
Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and verify avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out 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. Pick quieter huts and stay on durable trails.
