Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: July 2025
Winter
Stick to designated snow paths and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in designated spots, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on well-trodden paths.
