Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Follow marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Start early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Pick quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
