Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: October 2024
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike 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 make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
