Four seasons
Choose the best month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stick to marked snow routes and verify avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent widening trails, and venture out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings translate to calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy trails.
