Align activities with safer, low-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier viewing, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for late-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
