Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.

Cold season
Stick to designated snow paths and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings flowers to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn to catch birdlife.
Warm season
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Fall
Golden forests and cooler mornings lead to smoother hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and remain on sturdy trails.
