All-Year Round
Choose the best month for the ideal experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, spring blooms, cool mornings in summer, and calmer ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2023
Winter
Stick to defined snow trails and review avalanche info before you head out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom time in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn to catch birds.
Summer
Begin early for glacier views, swimming only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings yield gentler hikes. Pick quieter lodges and stick to well-used trails.
