Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2025
Winter
Stick to designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs tethered and avoid tranquil zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in designated spots, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings yield calmer hikes. Opt for less-busy huts and stick to sturdy trails.
