The four seasons
Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blossoms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2027
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings bloom season to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and visit at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and crisper mornings yield calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to well-trodden paths.
