Align activities with safer, lighter-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and peaceful ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before you go. Keep pets on leash and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring valleys come alive with blooms: dodge muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings create calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
