Year-round journeys
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool dawns in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.

Winter
Follow marked snow trails and verify avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs leashed and avoid tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom season in many valleys: stay off muddy margins to protect trails from widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and crisper mornings bring calmer hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stick to durable trails.
