Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: winter avalanche checks, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Stick to designated snow paths and review avalanche forecasts before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of silent areas.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: stay off muddy edges to prevent widening trails, and head out at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and crisper mornings lead to calmer hikes. Opt for quieter lodges and stick to solid trails.
