Four seasons
Choose the season that matches your ideal experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent widening of trails, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in allowed zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden foliage and cooler mornings invite calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on well-used trails.
