Align activities with safer, lighter-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2024
Winter
Sticking to designated snow paths and reviewing avalanche status before heading out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of quiet areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring is bloom time in many valleys: avoid muddy margins to prevent trail widening, and hike at sunrise to observe birds.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in permitted spots, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings create calmer hikes. Opt for quieter lodges and stay on sturdy trails.
