Choose the optimal month for your ideal adventure
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: checking avalanche conditions in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Winter
Stick to designated snow trails and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of secluded areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent widening of trails, and head out at dawn to spot birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler dawns make for calmer hikes. Opt for less-busy huts and stay on sturdy paths.
