Four seasons
Choose the best month for your ideal experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche risk checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions ahead of your trip. Keep dogs leashed and avoid tranquil 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 to reach glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings lead to gentler hikes. Choose less crowded huts and stay on sturdy trails.
