Match activities to safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2024
Winter
Stick to defined snow trails and review avalanche risks before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring valleys burst with blossoms: avoid muddy edges to limit trail widening, and head out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Start early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and crisper mornings bring calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy paths.
