Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooming season in spring, crisp mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2024
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep pets 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 sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings bring calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
