Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: June 2025
Winter
Stays on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions prior to heading out. Keep dogs leashed and skip quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom time in many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to reduce trail widening, and head out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings offer gentler hikes. Opt for quieter refuges and stick to sturdy trails.
