Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Remain on marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden foliage and cooler mornings invite calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
