Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool early mornings in summer, and quieter ridge lines in autumn.
Updated: March 2024
Winter
Follow designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep pets on a leash and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring valleys come alive with blooms: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn to observe birdlife.
Summer
Start early for glacier views, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings bring calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
