Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2027
Winter
Follow designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep pets leashed 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
Begin early for glacier visits, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield gentler hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on well-trodden paths.
