Pair activities with safer, lower-impact timeframes: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2025
Winter
Stick to mapped snow trails and verify avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of tranquil areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent widening trails, and visit at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in approved zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings foster calmer hikes. Opt for less-busy huts and stick to sturdy paths.
