Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cooler mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and verify avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings pave the way for calmer hikes. Seek quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
