Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2024
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Start early for glacier views, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings invite steadier hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on well-used trails.
