All-year rounds
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Align pursuits with safer, lighter-window periods: avalanche alerts in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2027
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before you head out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy margins to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, bathe only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden woodlands and cooler mornings lead to gentler hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and remain on durable trails.
