Four seasons
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridge routes in autumn.

Winter
Stick to marked snow routes and review avalanche danger before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and avoid secluded areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid 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
Golden forests and cooler mornings offer calmer hikes. Opt for less busy huts and stay on well-trodden paths.
