Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stick to clearly marked snow paths and review avalanche conditions prior to heading out. Keep pets on a leash and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooming valleys; steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn to enjoy birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, bathe only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and crisper mornings translate to gentler hikes. Opt for less crowded huts and keep to robust trails.
