Choose the best month for the right experience
Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2027
Winter
Stick to marked snow routes and check avalanche conditions before you go. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and go at sunrise for birdlife.
Sunny Season
Start early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Fall
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
