Time activities to safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and verify avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in approved areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
