Choose the ideal month for the perfect experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: August 2024
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring, when valleys bloom in many regions: avoid muddy margins to prevent trail widening, and visit at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in approved areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings yield gentler hikes. Opt for quieter lodges and stick to sturdy trails.
