All-Year Cycle
Choose the ideal month for the ideal experience
Pair activities with safer, low-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and tranquil ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: October 2023
Winter
Stay on mapped snow trails and review avalanche risk before heading out. Keep dogs on leashes and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in approved spots, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and crisp mornings yield mellower hikes. Opt for quieter huts and keep to well-worn paths.
