All year round
Choose the ideal month for the perfect experience
Coordinate activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in cold months, blossoms in spring, breezy mornings in summer, and quieter ridge routes in fall.
Updated: March 2026
Cold Season
Stick to designated snow paths and check avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs on leash and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Late Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and start at dawn to observe birds.
Warm Season
Rise early to see glaciers, swim only in permitted spots, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Fall
Golden forests and cooler mornings bring calmer hikes. Opt for quieter lodges and stick to sturdy trails.
