The Four Seasons

Choose the best month for the best experience

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

Follow marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.


Check safety bulletin

Spring

Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: avoid 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 invite calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
