Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Align activities with safer, low-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and tranquil ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2024
Winter
Follow marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent widening of trails, and hike at sunrise to observe birds.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings yield calmer hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and stay on sturdy paths.
