Four seasons
Choose the right month for the right adventure
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Stick to signed snow trails and review avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep pets on a leash and steer clear of peaceful zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise for wildlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings make for calmer hikes. Choose quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
