The Four Seasons
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.

Cold Season
Follow marked snow routes and check avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring signals bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and head out at sunrise for bird life.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden woods and cooler mornings invite calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
