Choose the best month for the right experience
Pair activities with safer, low-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool dawns in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep pets leashed and avoid quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In late spring many valleys burst into bloom: steer clear of muddy edges to limit trail widening, and hike at dawn to spot birds.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swim only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snow patches.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler dawns lead to gentler hikes. Opt for less crowded huts and stick to sturdy trails.
