Align activities with safer, lighter-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: August 2023
Winter
Stick to designated snow trails and review avalanche risk beforehand. Keep dogs on a leash and steer clear of tranquil zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom time in many valleys: steer clear of muddy margins to prevent trail widening, and venture at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in approved zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings yield calmer hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and remain on sturdy trails.
