All-Year Cycle
Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Tailor activities to safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in cold months, blossoms in bloom season, refreshing mornings in warm months, and quieter ridgelines in fall.
Updated: May 2025
Cold Season
Stick to designated snow trails and verify avalanche conditions beforehand. Keep dogs on leashes and steer clear of secluded areas.
Check safety bulletin
Bloom Season
Late bloom season blankets many valleys with flowers: steer clear of muddy edges to curb trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Warm Season
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in permitted zones, and consider microspikes for early snowfields.
Fall Season
Amber forests and crisper mornings bring gentler hikes. Opt for quieter huts and keep to sturdy trails.
