Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2027
Winter
Sticking to marked snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs on leash and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is blossom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent widening of trails, and hike 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 create quieter hikes. Opt for less-busy huts and stay on sturdy trails.
