Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2026
Winter
Follow designated snow routes and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep pets leashed and avoid tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom season in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent widening of trails, and head out at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Rise early to reach glaciers, swim only in approved zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings promote calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
